Use the following information. The relationship between the length of an adult’s femur (thigh bone) and the height of the adult can be approximated by the linear equations

y = 0.432x − 10.44 Female

y = 0.449x − 12.15 Male

Where y is the length of the femur in inches and x is the height of the adult in inches (see figure).

Officials search a forest for a missing man who is 6 feet 2 inches tall. They find an adult male femur that is 21 inches long. Is it possible that the femur belongs to the missing man?
