What is the relationship between height and arm span?

The length of one arm is about 40% of your height

Arm span is a measure of the arm

Arm span is approximately equal to a person's height. So the predicted height of a person with an arm span of 66in is also 66in.

It is relatively the same your height and arm span may be 3 in off but it is rather close:)

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.

For the average person, the arm span is going to match the height. However, it can vary by several inches in either direction.

the revised physical fitness are height taking, weight taking, sitting height, and arm span.

For the average person, the arm span is going to match the height. However, it can vary by several inches in either direction.

It's about equal, but can differ with as much as 2 " either way.

The Average Arm Span For A Two Year Old Should Be Roughly The Same As Its Height.

7;2 arm span to be precise

Obviously this varies with the person, but a rough estimate is that height. and arm span are equal. If you accept this idea, the person is 66 inches or 5 ft. 6 in. tall.

The average human body height to arm span ratio is approximately one to one. The arm to body ratio in a human is two to one.

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.

The real life example of a linear eqaution problem could be the comparison of somthing changing to something else. There can be many ways a linear equation can be used in real life from complex exponential graphs that explain economics to a simplistic problem comparing the arm span to height. For example: y=2x-1 could be the equation for arm span. (y) being arm span (x) being height This uses the concept of slope or rate. So the y(arm span) depends on the other variable x(height) to find y's value. Hope this helps :) -Leonard

about half the size of the adults arm span

No. Your boy is a mutant. Congrats!

height 150cm arm length 62cm

they are the bones that make up your lower arm. The radius helps the arm to rotate while the ulna supports the arm.

You can't calculate the height just by measuring the arm.

fingertip to fingertip.

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.

depends on the length of the persons arms. My arm span is about .8 meter so 9 x .8 = 7.2 meters

What you do if you have a sore arm is rest it at a leveled height
