Model the data with a linear function where the height, H, is a function of the circumference, c, of the right forefoot. Then using this function, estimate the height at the shoulders of an Indian elephant with a right forefoot circumference of 118 cm. Round the answer to the nearest hundredth. Answers may vary depending on the data points used.
