THE FEET CAN MEASURE THE HEIGHT

The bones of the feet can tell a lot about a person. What do feet reveal about a person's height? Forensic anthropologists team up with law enforcers to help solve crimes.

Bones of the feet can reveal an interesting fact about an individual. Let's combine math with forensics to see how.

Aim:  To use forensic science techniques to measure the height of a criminal.

Material:

1.  1-meter ruler
2. your self

Steps:

1.  Get a 1- meter ruler and ready to see how tall are you
2.  Standing in front of the wall then use the ruler to see how tall are you
3.  use the ruler to see how big is your feet 
4.  then write down the number of how tall are you and how big your feet is 

Findings:

Name	Foot  (cm)	Height (cm)
harry	0.27 cm	1.65 meter
Patrick	30 cm,	1.57 meter
	my foot is 16% of my height

15 is the number used by investigators to determine a person's height based on their feet. This is because 15% of a person's height is the length of their foot.

Find out what percentage of your height is your feet. To do this you need to:
Divide the length of each person's foot by his/her height then multiply it by 100.
