Substituting h into the first area formula, we obtain the equation for the equilateral triangle area: One leg of that right triangle is equal to height, another leg is half of the side, and the hypotenuse is the equilateral triangle side.Īfter simple transformations, we get a formula for the height of the equilateral triangle: See our right triangle calculator to learn more about right triangles. Height of the equilateral triangle is derived by splitting the equilateral triangle into two right triangles. The basic formula for triangle area is side a (base) times the height h, divided by 2: H = a × √3 / 2, where a is a side of the triangle.īut do you know where the formulas come from? You can find them in at least two ways: deriving from the Pythagorean theorem (discussed in our Pythagorean theorem calculator) or using trigonometry.

Jyoti Amge – 23-and-a-half inches tall, weighing 12 pounds. 2 Feet, Inches to 60 cm centimeter conversion table included. Lucia Zarate – Smallest woman claimant and the earliest studied example of microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type Pauline Musters – at 23 inches (58 cm) tall, recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as the shortest woman ever recorded. Lin Yu-chih – Shortest man currently living (immobile) at 67.5 centimetres (26.6 in), according to Guinness World Records He Pingping – Shortest man currently living (mobile) at 74 centimetres (29 in), possibly the shortest man in the People’s Republic of China. Younis Edwan – Shortest man claimant, is said to be 25 inches (64 cm) tall.
Gul Mohammed – Shortest man ever verified, measuring only 22.4 inches (57 cm), according to Guinness World Records. Khagendra Thapa Magar from Nepal stands at only 22 inches (56 cm) tall according to Guinness World Records. Currently Yao Defen of China is claimed to be the tallest woman in the world at 2.33 m (7 ft 7+1⁄2 in), but this is not confirmed by the Guiness Book of World Records. Until her death in 2008, Sandy Allen was the tallest woman in the world at 2.32 m (7 ft 7+1⁄2 in). The tallest man in modern history was Robert Pershing Wadlow from Illinois in the United States, who was born in 1918 and stood 2.72 m (8 ft 11 in) at the time of his death in 1940. The current proven tallest man is Sultan Kosen of Turkey who stands at 2.47 m (8 ft 1 in), overtaking previous world record holder Bao Xishun of Inner Mongolia, China at 2.36 m (7 ft 9 in) (interestingly, He Pingping, the shortest man in the world, is also from Inner Mongolia). (To make other conversions try height converter)Īt 2.57 m (8 ft 5 in), Leonid Stadnyk, of Zhytomyr Oblast, Ukraine, is believed to be the world’s tallest living man, although his height is disputed because of his refusal to be measured. The table lists only most common human heights (more then 95% of adult human population should meet the criteria: higher then 5 inches and shorter then 7ft 2in) but there are some interesting exceptions – the tallest and the shortest.
Example: 162.56cm is equal to 1.6256m is equal to a little more then 1 meter and 62cm). To divide number of centimeters by 100, move the decimal point two places to the right, after that value preceding the decimal point will refer to number of meters and two digits after decimal point will refer to number of centimeters. There is no column for hight given in meters because conversion from centimeters to meters is extremely easy (1m is equal to 100cm. The table allows you to fast and easily convert most common human heights between values given in feet and inches, inches and centimeters.
