    Height measurement using a stadiometer. Human height or stature is the distance from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head in a human body, standing erect.It is measured using a stadiometer, [1] in centimetres when using the metric system or SI system, [2] [3] or feet and inches when using United States customary units or the imperial system.

    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 (⁠ 1 / 100 ⁠ m = 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).

    There was an average BSA of 1.73 m 2 for 3,000 cancer patients from 1990 to 1998 in a European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) database. [19] During 2005 there was an average BSA of 1.79 m 2 for 3,613 adult cancer patients in the UK. Among them the average BSA for men was 1.91 m 2 and for women was 1.71 m 2. [20]

    In men the average weight is about 1370 g and in women about 1200 g. [4] [contradictory] The volume is around 1260 cm 3 in men and 1130 cm 3 in women, although there is substantial individual variation. [5] Yet another study found that adult human brain weight is 1300–1400 g for adult humans and 350–400 g for newborn humans.

    [1] [2] On the other hand, the grouping displacement (the distance between the calculated group center and the intended point of aim) is a measure of accuracy. Tightness of shot groupings are calculated by measuring the maximum distance between any two bullet holes on the target (center-to-center) in length measurements such as millimeters or ...

  9. Minute and second of arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute_and_second_of_arc

    The physical group size equivalent to m minutes of arc can be calculated as follows: group size = tan(⁠ m / 60 ⁠) × distance. In the example previously given, for 1 minute of arc, and substituting 3,600 inches for 100 yards, 3,600 tan(⁠ 1 / 60 ⁠) ≈ 1.047 inches. In metric units 1 MOA at 100 metres ≈ 2.908 centimetres.
