Question 317153: A woman’s height, h is related to the length of the femur, f (the bone from the knee to the hip socket) by the formula
F=0.432 h – 10.44 (In the formula) both h and f are measured in inches.
A partial skeleton of a woman is found in which the femur length f is 15.67 inches long. Police find the skeleton in an area where a woman slightly over 5 feet tall is missing for over a year. Can the partial skeleton be that of the missing woman? Explain. Show work by solving h.
