What is my estimated height for when I'm an adult?!


Question: What is my estimated height for when I'm an adult?
My mom is 5'2", my dad is 6'4", and I'm currently 5'6". I just turned 15.

Answers:

5'6" TO 5"11"
Children will grow to a height that is somewhere between their mother's and father's heights. Using these factors, this method predicts adult height by adding the parents' heights together, dividing by two, then adding three inches for a boy (or subtracting three for a girl). While this method is fairly accurate, the child's ultimate height can vary by as much as five inches above or below this calculation.
Predicted Adult Height (PAH) = ((MH + FH) / 2) + or - 3"

MH= mother's height
FH=father's height
====================
((62" + 76") / 2) - 3" = 66" with a ultimate variance of 5"
5'6" TO 5"11"

boy or girl? makes a huge difference. if your parents kept a record of how tall you were when you were little, have a look at how tall you were when you turned 2 (or close to), double that.



id say 5'10 at best
