if a woman is 160 cm tall (about 5.25 ft),how long is her tibia??
This site has a formula for estimating a person's height by measuring the tibia.

To estimate the length of an individual's tibia (shinbone) based on their height, we can use anthropometric data and ratios derived from research studies. One widely accepted ratio is that the length of the tibia typically corresponds to roughly 16.6% of a person's height.
To calculate the estimated length of the tibia, we'll multiply the person's height by the ratio:
Tibia length = Height x 0.166 (16.6%)
Let's do the math for the given height of 160 cm (or 5.25 ft):
160 cm x 0.166 = 26.6 cm
Therefore, based on the ratio, the estimated length of the woman's tibia would be approximately 26.6 cm.
