Problema Solution
As an archaeologist at an Aztec dig site you discover the partial remains of a significant member of the ruling nobility. The most intact bone you find is the femur. You are charged with approximating the height of the person using a measurement of the femur length. The fumer bone you discovered was 11 inches long. Use a equation to approximate the height of your discovery.

One common equation to relate the height of a male (nobility is probably a male) to his femur length is as follows:
Height in inches = (1.880 x femur length) + 32.010
(check https://www.nsbri.org/humanphysspace/focus6/student1.html for reference)
So here, height = 1.880 * 11 + 32.010 = 52.69 inches = 4 feet, 4.69 inches
