A height calculator is a tool that allows conversion between different units of height such as feet, inches, and centimeters. It can also be used to predict a child's adult height based on current height and age, among other methods. There are two main functionalities:
- Height Conversion: Quickly convert height units (e.g., feet/inches to centimeters or vice versa) using formulas like:
- cm=(feet×30.48)+(inches×2.54)\text{cm}=(\text{feet}\times 30.48)+(\text{inches}\times 2.54)cm=(feet×30.48)+(inches×2.54)
- For reverse, convert cm to feet and inches by dividing accordingly.
- Child Adult Height Prediction: Some height calculators use methods like the Mid-Parental Height formula or multiplier tables to estimate a child's expected adult height based on the heights of the parents and the child’s current age and gender.
These calculators are useful for health tracking, filling forms, shopping, and general curiosity about height comparisons and growth predictions.
