Not always. People's bodies differ proportionally; thus, a person's arm span is not directly equal to their height. Some people's wingspan may be plus or minus a few inches in relation to their height.
From the top of the radish to the tip of the leaves.
2723 feet to its tip.
The sheave height is the distance between the shortest distance from the tip of the sheave (commonly called a "boom") and the ground. It is common to discuss the sheave height with respect to a piece of equipment and get a number which is the maximum sheave height.
The common US distance from throw line to face of board for soft tip darts is 8 feet. 7'-9.25 inches is for steel tip darts.
All thermocouples (whether type J, type K, type T, etc.) measure the difference in temperature between the Tip (junction between two different metals), and the other end of the thermocouple wire, often referred to as the "cold junction." There must be two such junctions somewhere for the thermocouple to operate correctly; typically the measurement junction is at the tip. To measure the temperature of some thing, try to put that junction as close as possible to that thing. However, since the thermocouple is metallic and the measurement relies on detecting tiny voltages, connecting the tip electrically to a metallic surface could affect the measurement. For that reason thermocouples often have insulated tips.
yes, in ancient times people used the tip of their finger to measure out an inch. they also used the length from the tip their finger to the other tip of their finger to measure the persons height.
Body parts: the cubit (inside elbow to finger tip), the foot, the stride, the span (finger tip to finger tip) the inch was the thumb length the british stone was just that, a stone. A cup was what you could "cup" in your two hands.
If your talking about a boxers reach, it's finger tip to finger tip as the boxer holds both arms out as far as he can. If your taking about arm length, it's a measurement from under the arm pit to the end of the fingers.
A span is a measurement between the full spread fingers (ie. an outstretched hand) to the tip of the little finger) and the (tip of the) thumb. A hand span is generally recognized to be 9 inches or half a cubit.
Maybe you mean pulse oximetry. It is the measurement of oxygen in your blood. It is measured when they put that clip on the tip of your finger.
The term "span" refers to the distance between the tip of the thumb and tip of the little finger of one hand when fully extended; this measurement is today considered to be roughly 9 inches, exactly the same as it was in medieval times.
For inch measurements without a ruler, take your index finger, the segments are approximately one inch long. The entire index finger is three inches from tip to base. For foot measurements take the size of your foot say you shoe size is 11, add a little for the difference. For a yard measurement take the measurement from your nose to the tip of your fingers. All these are subject to various sizes as no one is the same size. But does give you somewhat of a measurement but not an exact one. For that you will need appropriate measuring instrument's.
Take your index finger and your thumb, grab the tip of the tail and stroke it in a back and forth motion.
The standard proportions when drawing the adult human figure is seven (7) heads high. The height of the head from chin to crown is one seventh of the height of a normal adult human. This is a generalization, but works well as a baseline. Just for a bit more proportional information, the distance from tip of longest finger to the tip of the longest finger of the other hand (when stretched out horizontally at shoulder height is the same as the height of the figure (7 heads). When drawing children the proportions are much different. Also remember, it is the setting you put your figures into that determine the perceived height of the figure. If you place your figure next to a tree and they are near the same height, you person appears very tall... If you place your figure next to a tulip and they are near the same height, the figure appears very small.
the lentgh of the stick or BASTON is 1 yard, or as long as your arm from the tip of your middle finger to your clavicle or neck!
The middle finger
This is a quick way to measure something using the hand. Hand span is a measure of distance from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the little finger with the hand fully extended. In ancient times, a span was considered to be half a cubit. Sometimes the distinction is made between the great span (thumb to little finger) and little span (index finger to little finger). The hand is a non-SI unit of measurement of length standardized to 4 inches (101.6 mm). It is used to measure the height of horses in some English-speaking countries.
