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.

My feet are 24 cm and my height is 148 cm.Travis,s foot is 22.5 and his height is 153 cm.To do all of this we needed a ruler and a partner to tell how tall you are. People use this when they find the footprint of a person and want to know how high they are.
Divide the length of each person's foot by his/her height. then multiply it by 100.
