Question 617172: A woman's height, H, is related to the length of the femur length f, F, by the formuala
f=0.432 h - 10.44
A partial skeleton of a woman is found in which the femur length f is 15.57 inches long. Police find the skeleton in an anrea where a woman slightly over 5 feet (60 inches) tall is missing for over a year.
Can the partial skeleton be that of the missing woman? Solve for h

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f=0.432h+-+10.44
15.57+=+0.432h+-+10.44
+15.57%2B10.44+=+0.432h
26.01+=+0.432h
26.01%2F0.432+=+h
60.208+=+h
Looks like this could be that missing person
