Forensic anthropologists analyze skeletons to help solve crimes. They can use the length of a femur bone to estimate the height of a skeleton. The height of a skeleton is about 30 inches taller than twice the legth of the femur bone. Let h represent the height of a skeleton. Let f represent the length of a femur bone. Write an equation to represent the height of a skeleton.

Respuesta :

Answer:

h = 2f + 30 (in inches)

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the femur bone is f. Hence twice the length of femur bone is 2f. since height of skeleton is 30 inches taller than 2f,

h = 2f + 30, assuming h is measured in inches
