Question 18.101

5. Dolls and human figures are usually scaled to be geometrically similar to actual humans. But are dolls designed to represent babies or adult humans? Go to a toy store and measure the height, the vertical height of the head, and the arm length of some dolls and other figures. Scale your measurements to compare them with Figure 18.14 (page 763); from that comparison, try to estimate the ages of the humans that the figures resemble. Write up your procedure, data, calculations, and conclusions in a page or two.
