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:
- yourself
- 1 meter ruler
Steps:
- get a meter ruler
- put the meter ruler facing upwards
- put your finger where the ruler ends
- put the ruler on top of that finger

15 is the number used by investigators to determine a persons height based on their feet. This is because 15% of a persons 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.
