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 (f), 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. Answer parts (a) trough (d).
For males
$h(t) = 81.69 + 2.39t$
$h(f) = 69.09 + 2.24f$
For females
$h(t) = 72.57 + 2.53t$
$h(f) = 61.41 + 2.32f$
