(a) Reference the diagram of a fish shown below. The formula to calculate the approximate weight for mo species of freshwater fish is: WEIGHT = LENGTH * GIRTH ^ 2 / SHAPE FACTOR Assume that a fisherman caught a largemouth bass that measured in at 22 1/2 inches long, with a girth of 19 inches. The shape factor for a largemouth bass has been set by the fishing industry at 1050. Write a formula to determine the estimated weight of this fish. Common Measurements InfreshwaterRules only Tou.

Explanation / Answer

Approximate weight of the fish = (length * (girth * girth) ) / shape factor

= (22.5 * (19 * 19) ) / 1050

= 8122.5 / 1050

= 7.74 pounds

Estimated weight of the fish = ((girth * girth) * length) / 800

= ((19 * 19) * 22.5) / 800

= 10.15 pounds
