Answer:

The hair is a nonhuman animal hair.

Explanation:

To decide if this hair is a human hair or a nonhuman animal hair, we need to calculate the medullary index.

The medullary index has the following formula :

MedullaryIndex=\frac{Medulla'sWidth}{EntireHair'sWidth} (I)

If we replace the data from the question in the equation (I) :

MedullaryIndex=\frac{58microns}{110microns}=0.527

The medullary index is 0.527

Now, the medullary index for humans is 0.33 or less while the medullary index for animals is 0.50 or greater.

⇒ 0.527>0.50 ⇒

We answer that the hair is a nonhuman animal hair.
