2. Stadiametric rangefinding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadiametric_rangefinding

   100 milliradians ≈ 2.80" (7.112 cm) -- stadia factor x10. The approximate range of an object one foot (30.48 cm) in height covering roughly 100 milliradians is 10 feet (3.048 m) or: Range (r) = approximate height of object (h) × (1000 ÷ aperture in milliradians (a)) r = h(1000/a) → where r and h are identical units, and a is in ...

3. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

   The centimetre (SI symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10−2 metres (⁠100⁠m = 0.01 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 −2 m and 10 −1 m (1 cm and 1 dm). 1 cm – 10 millimetres. 1 cm – 0.39 inches. 1 cm – edge of a square of area 1 cm 2.

4. Milliradian - Wikipedia

   If using the imperial units yards for distance and inches for target size, one has to multiply by a factor of 1000 ⁄ 36 ≈ 27.78, since there are 36 inches in one yard. distance in yards = target in inches angle in mrad × 27.78 {\displaystyle {\text{distance in yards}}={\frac {\text{target in inches}}{\text{angle in mrad}}}\times 27.78}

5. Arm span - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arm_span

   Arm span or reach (sometimes referred to as wingspan, or spelled armspan) 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 90° angle. The arm span measurement is usually very close to the person's height.
