Problem 75
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. For men: \(\quad h(r)=69.09+2.24 r\) or \(\quad h(t)=81.69+2.39 t\) For women: \(\quad h(r)=61.41+2.32 r\) or \(h(t)=72.57+2.53 t\) (a) Find the height of a man with a femur measuring \(56 \mathrm{~cm}\). (b) Find the height of a man with a tibia measuring \(40 \mathrm{~cm} .\) (c) Find the height of a woman with a femur measuring \(50 \mathrm{~cm}\). (d) Find the height of a woman with a tibia measuring \(36 \mathrm{~cm}\).

Problem 96
The upper deck at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago has produced, among other complaints, displeasure with its steepness. It is \(160 \mathrm{ft}\) from home plate to the front of the upper deck and \(250 \mathrm{ft}\) from home plate to the back. The top of the upper deck is \(63 \mathrm{ft}\) above the bottom. What is its slope?
