How tall do you think i will be if my parents are under 5' 5"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Estimate height : If you take the average of your parents height (m+d/2) your expected height is approximately that number plus 2.5 inches if male and minus 2.5 inches if female. Exceptions do occur but this gives the basic target.
