 * Essential Question:** how can I use math symbols to describe a pattern?

The equation for the female femur is H=61.412+ **2.317F// 61.412 + 2.317 x 46.2 61.412 + 107.0454 = 168.4574.
 * A. How tall is a female if her femur is 46.2 centimeters long?

A female femur if it is 46.2 centimeters long will be about 168.4574.

The eqaution for a male tibia is H=81.688+2.392F 81.688+2.392 x 50.1 81.688+119.8392 201.5272
 * B. How tall is a male if his tibia is 50.1 centimeters long?

A male tibia would be 201.5272 if it was 50.1 centimeters long.
