The combined length of the intestines in an average adult is approximately 25 to 30 feet (about 7.5 to 9 meters). This includes the small intestine, which is around 20 feet (6 meters) long, and the large intestine, which measures about 5 feet (1.5 meters). The small intestine is primarily responsible for nutrient absorption, while the large intestine focuses on water absorption and waste elimination. Variations in length can occur based on individual factors such as genetics and overall health.
