newtest3 They are actually almost the same height; by measuring a persons arm span you can find their average height. My arms are very short on the other hand, so they are slightly shorter than my height. The same thing may be true with long armed people.

remember.... Oogla knows all!

--An 'average' person's arm span is the same as height almost, but for some it's shorter, but for others, it's longer, like mine. My arm span is wide NOT because of my arms (in fact, my arms are relatively short according to some tailor), but because my shoulders have broadened and widened from being overweight growing up. Just thought I mentioned that in case others are wondering.

How many cm is 1 arm span?

Arm span or reach (also known as wingspan) is the physical measurement of the length from one end of an individual's arms (measured at the fingertips) to the other when raised parallel to the ground at shoulder height at a one-hundred eighty degree angle. The average reach correlates to the person's height. So, it is impossible to say how many centimeters is YOUR arm span or MY arm span without measuring it first. For example, my arm span is 183cm.
