-Forensic scientists use the lengths of certain bones to calculate the height of a person. When the femur (the bone from the knee to the hip socket) is used, the following formula applies for men: h = 69.09 + 2.24f, where h is the height and f is the length of the femur (both in centimeters). Find the height of a man with a femur measuring 51 centimeters.
A) 3637.83 cm
B) 183.33 cm
C) 120.09 cm
D) 8.08 cm

To find the height of a man with a femur measuring 51 centimeters, substitute f = 51 into the formula h = 69.09 + 2.24f. This gives h = 69.09 + 2.24(51) = 69.09 + 114.24 = 183.33 cm.
