Question

a femur was found in a shallow grave. the length of the femur is 15 cm. which best describes the height of the victim? recall that h = 2.71cm (lfemur) + 45.86cm. 86.51 cm 135.50 cm 162.08 cm 209.15 cm question 22 3 pts which is a general trend that can be used to determine the sex of a victim from dental remains? look for shovel - shaped incisors. look for flat - bladed incisors. look at the length of the roots of maxillary cuspids. look for presence or absence of wisdom teeth.

Explanation:

Question 21

Step1: Substitute femur length

Given $h = 2.71\mathrm{cm}(l_{femur})+45.86\mathrm{cm}$ and $l_{femur}=15\mathrm{cm}$, substitute $l_{femur}$ into the formula.
$h = 2.71\times15 + 45.86$

Step2: Calculate multiplication

$2.71\times15=40.65$

Step3: Calculate sum

$h=40.65 + 45.86=86.51\mathrm{cm}$

Shovel - shaped incisors are more common in some populations and can be a factor in sex - determination in forensic cases as they have different prevalence rates between males and females. Other options like flat - bladed incisors, length of maxillary cuspid roots, and presence/absence of wisdom teeth are not as reliable for general sex - determination from dental remains.

Answer:

$86.51\mathrm{cm}$
