No mention of the size is found in The Bible.

Answer

The Book of Jubilees contains one of the most detailed accounts found anywhere of the Tower.

And they began to build, and in the fourth week they made brick with fire, and the bricks served them for stone, and the clay with which they cemented them together was asphalt which comes out of the sea, and out of the fountains of water in the land of Shinar. And they built it: forty and three years were they building it; its breadth was 203 bricks, and the height [of a brick] was the third of one; its height amounted to 5433 cubits and 2 palms, and [the extent of one wall was] thirteen stades [and of the other thirty stades]. (Jubilees 10:20-21, Charles' 1913 translation)

My calculation are 8,149.5 ft tall. (cubits translate to 1 1/2 ft. each); and 1 stade (short for the greek 'stadium', the length from one end of the stadium to the other) is 629.9 ft.

therefore, 8149.5 ft tall, and the extent of one wall was 8,188 ft. or to put it another way: height = 1.54346 mi or 2.48396 km length = 1.55075 mi or 2.49570 km
