What is Hand Size?

Hand size typically refers to the length of the hand from the base of the palm to the tip of the middle finger. It is a personal anthropometric measurement that can be important for fitting gloves, playing musical instruments, or participating in sports like basketball where hand size can influence performance.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following value:

Step 1: Multiply the height by 0.108:

\[ 70 \times 0.108 = 7.56 \]

Step 2: Add 0.455 to the result:

\[ 7.56 + 0.455 = 8.015 \]

Therefore, the estimated hand size is 8.02 inches.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following value:

Step 1: Multiply the height by 0.108:

\[ 65 \times 0.108 = 7.02 \]

Step 2: Add 0.455 to the result:

\[ 7.02 + 0.455 = 7.475 \]

Therefore, the estimated hand size is 7.48 inches.
