The lower intestine, more accurately called the "small intestine", is around seven metres long in an average adult human. Rounded to two decimal places, this is equal to 22.97 feet.

The small intestine is, in fact, around 4 to 5 times longer than the large intestine, but derives its name from its smaller diameter in comparison to the large intestine.
