🧠: How tall does someone have to be to be at the legal road weight limit of 80,000 pounds?
🐯: So 80,000 / 200 = 400, I'd have to weigh 400x as much. If I double my height that gets me 200*2*2*2 (vaguely, each dimension doubles, so volume would increase *8 per double?) = 1,600 pounds. Soooo... 200*(x^3) = 80,000 -> x^3 = 400 -> x =400^(1/3) -> x = 7.39 (scalar). Sooo I'd have to be ~12 meters/~40 feet tall to be as heavy as a maximally loaded semi, or about 4 stories tall. For reference, the maximum length of a semi trailer is somewhere between 40 and 59 feet long depending on the state.

🐯: That seem right?
🧠: I don't know we haven't done real math in a decade, what do you want from me?
