Forensic scientists use the lengths of certain bones to calculate the height of a person. Two such bones are the tibia (t), the bone from the ankle to the knee, and the femur (r), the bone from the knee to the hip socket. A person’s height (h) in centimeters is determined from the lengths of these bones using the following functions.

(a) Find the height of a man with a femur measuring 56 cm.

(b) Find the height of a man with a tibia measuring 40 cm.

(c) Find the height of a woman with a femur measuring 50 cm.

(d) Find the height of a woman with a tibia measuring 36 cm.
