1) During this project, I noticed that using the humerus formula, all of the

heights we got using the formula were much shorter than our actual
heights. Using the radius formula, we were all a little taller than our actual
height.
2) There werent many difficulties except for organizing the data and putting
it into a graph.
3) If I had to give them advice, I would give them these formulas. For some
advice, I would tell them to add a couple inches to the humerus formula is
a little shorter so they should add a couple of inches to the height they got
using the formula. Also, I would tell them to subtract a couple of inches
when they use the tibia formula.
4) A couple formulas that archeologists and forensic scientists use are
h=69.089+2.238f (for men) and for women, they use
h=61.412+2.317f.
5) Archaeology is related to math because there are also many formulas that
archaeologists use to find heights and lengths of the human body.
6) The fact that were finding all of these heights from only the tibia,
humerus, and radius is an example that archaeologists also use
mathematics in archaeology.
7) It would be an easier way to display the data than to rather explain it all
in words because its easier to comprehend by reading it in a table.
8) I used my a tape measure and a computer. The tape measure was to
measure all the parts of our body needed for the equation. This was
beneficial because its better to have correct measurements than to
estimate. We used a computer to put all the info on Excel. Its quicker to
type and use a graph on Excel than to actually write it all out, so it was
much easier.
9) We used addition, multiplication, and subtraction for this activity. They
were from the equation to get the heights from the radius, humerus, and
tibia. I also used them to find the difference from the formula height and
my actual height.
10) Its actually very accurate if you average it. Our averaged heights and our
actual heights were surprisingly close.
