4.3+Analyzing+Bones


 * Big Idea**

Many real world situations can be modeled and predicted using mathematics.


 * Essential Question #4: How can I use math symbols to describe a pattern?**

A female is 168 cm tall if her femur is 46.2 cm long.
 * 1) ** How tall is a female if her femur is 46.2 cm long? **

A male is 201 cm tall is his tibia is 50.1 cm long.
 * 1) ** How tall is a male if his tibia is 50.1 cm long? **

Femur: 39 cm
 * 1) ** If a woman is 152 cm, how long is her femur, tibia, humerus, and radius? **

Tibia: 31 cm

Humerus: 27 cm

Radius: 20 cm

Femur: 50 cm
 * 1) ** If a man is 183 cm tall, then how long is his femur, tibia, humerus, and radius? **

Tibia: 42 cm

Humerus: 36 cm

Radius: 28 cm  **F.U**


 * 1. ****For one of the bone above, graph the equations for males and females on the same set of axis. What do the X and Y intercepts represents in this problem? does this make sense?**

The X intercept means that the person will have bigger bones since X is greater, and it is also growing instead of shrinking. The Y intercepts means that the total height of the person is getting bigger, since it is moving towards the 1st guaderant it is growing instead of shrinking.
