Hello,
I am not quite sure what you are asking, - "percussing" strictly means, tapping something with your middle finger, to hear whether it's hollow inside, or solid. Whereas height is usually assessed visually with a tape measure.
It's going to be difficult to produce a value for the vertical length of the abdomen, symphysis pubis to the lower costal margin, if that's what you're asking?
Even the average *total* height of a 14- year old female is so very variable, (average 160cm, - range 130cm to 180cm), - - please see this centile chart, (click) http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize…
I suppose if you use an Artist's female-human-body proportions chart like this one, (click) http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ruNmKeZaSOs/SP… - you get a proportion for the vertical length of the abdomen of about one eighth (1/8) of the total height, - so the average answer would be 1/8 x 160 = 20cm. This seems in line with what one would expect.
Am I ingenious and resourceful, or what : )
I hope this is of some help.

There is no answer to this because 14 year olds come in all sizes
