Method 1: Use a tape measure.
1. Prepare tools required for height measurement, including the following items: tape measure or ruler.
mirror
pencil
A small paper box or a thick book
2. Choosing a place suitable for height measurement can meet the following conditions: the flat open space is against the wall.
You can stand against the wall.
You can mark the wall with a pencil.
Stand on the ground made of hard cement, tiles or hardwood. Don't put a carpet on it, and don't measure it in the corner.
It's best to find a place next to the door or corner, which is convenient for using the tape measure.
It's best to find a place with a mirror opposite, so you don't need to take the mirror with you.
3. Be ready to measure your height. Do the following things first: take off your shoes and socks. Measure your height barefoot, because slippers and socks will affect your measurement results.
Take everything from the U-turn. Don't wear a hat, hair band or high ponytail. Flatten your hair.
Stand with your back against the wall with your feet together. Stand as straight as possible with your heels, back, shoulders and head close to the wall. Tighten your chin and look forward.
4. Start the height measurement according to the following steps. Make sure you get everything you need. One hand holds a prepared box or book, and the other hand holds a mirror and pencil.
Put a small carton or book on your head, with one side of the carton or book against the wall.
Use a mirror to make sure that the paper box or book is level with the ground and perpendicular to the wall, at 90 degrees. Do not move the paper box or book after it is put away, so as not to affect the measurement results.
5. Mark the head position with a pencil. When marking, the box or book must be held firmly and cannot be moved. Mark the position on the box or wall. Hold the box or book steady, and you'd better turn around and make a mark.
Hold the bottom of the box or book with your hand when you turn around and come out.
You can also mark directly without turning around.
6. Measure the place marked by pencil from the floor with a tape measure. Straighten the tape measure and stick it on the wall. If the tape measure is too short to be measured at one time, you can measure it several times and mark the last measured position with a pencil each time.
Record the measurement data.
Measure until the box or book you marked with a pencil is found.
Add up the measured data several times and you will get your height.
Method 2: Make your own ruler.
1. Make a ruler with a piece of paper 100 yuan, a rope, adhesive tape and marker. If you don't have a tape measure or a standard ruler, measure the height with your own ruler. If you need to know your height immediately and take a ruler with you, you can only make do with it.
This can only measure a rough value.
Make a ruler for you with a hundred-dollar bill. It is very simple to make a ruler with a hundred-dollar bill, because the size of the hundred-dollar bill is 155 mm long. Put the paper money next to the rope and flatten or straighten it by hand.
Mark the length of the paper money on the rope and repeat it several times until the measured length of the rope is similar to your height.
If there are no hundred-dollar bills, use other denominations.
3. Use a homemade temporary ruler like an ordinary ruler. Tape the rope to the wall. Don't break the rope.
Stand with your feet straight and your back against the wall.
Mark the position of the head on the rope.
Look at the length of the rope measured by paper money before, and compare and estimate your height.
Method 3: Use a height measuring instrument.
1. Use the height measuring instrument to measure the height. Use a height measuring instrument in the doctor's office or gym. It is best to find an electronic height measuring instrument, and the measurement result is more accurate.
Using a height measuring instrument consisting of a ruler and a horizontal measuring plate, the measuring plate contacting the head can slide freely.
Ask the doctor to help you measure your height with a height measuring instrument.
2, ready to measure height, make the following preparations: take off your shoes and socks. Take off your shoes and socks and measure your height barefoot, because shoes and socks will affect the accuracy of the measurement results.
Take everything from the U-turn. Don't wear a hat, don't tie a hair band, don't tie a high ponytail, and flatten your hair. Lower the measuring board to the head position and flatten the hair.
Stand on the height measuring instrument, with your back against the wall and your feet together. Stand as straight as possible with your heels, back, shoulders and head close to the wall. Tighten your chin and look forward.
3. Adjust the measuring board of the height measuring instrument and put it on your head. Note that this board can be adjusted by moving up and down. Before starting to measure the height, make sure that the vertically moving measuring board can work normally.
Remember to fold or open the measuring board to keep it horizontal.
4. Check the height results displayed on the instrument. After adjusting the measuring board and measuring, get off the instrument and check the measurement results. Your height results are displayed on the vertical ruler.
Look at the scale indicated by the arrow on the horizontal measuring arm.
The digital height measuring instrument will display your height value on the screen.
Tip: Measure your height in the morning. During the day, with the compression of the spine, our height will become shorter. Measuring height in the morning can get the most complete and accurate height value.
