Foot Size & 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.

Foot to Height Ratio

1. Remove your shoes 2. Measure your LEFT foot size in inches (from the back of the heel to the tip of your big toe). 3. With your partners help, find your height in inches. 4. Calculate:
Foot size height x 100 = ______% This will tell you that your foot size is _____% of your height!

~15%????
The results of your calculations should be about 15, illustrating that the length of a person's foot is approximately 15 percent of his or her height. This works best on a full grown individual for the ratio of body parts is slightly different in growing children.

Lets solve it!

The size of the footprint left at the scene was 10.5 inches. Calculate: 10.5 x 100 15 = Height (inches) Height (inches) 12 = Height in feet

The suspect is 58!

Based on the size of the footprint, we can determine that the suspect is 5 feet 8 inches tall! Which suspect is 58? Does all of the other evidence match up with this suspect?
