Question

If my mom is 4'11 and my dad is 5'6 then how tall will i be?

Answer 1

I will say about 5'6

Answer 2

Sweetie, my mon is 5'9", My dad is 6'2", and their 3 children are 5'4", 5'5", and 5'8".  My sister which is 5'4". has 2 children one is 6'3" and one is 5'4". You can really tell how tall your going to be because of how tall your parents are.  It can be determined from earlier relatives, too.

Answer 3

no way to know but my sister was kind of short 5ft and so was her husband 5 ft 5 but their kid is 6 foot tall ...

Answer 4

Alas, you are destined to spend life as a Circus Midget. :-) Just kidding.

My parents were both under 5'6". My oldest brother is about 6'. My second brother is 5'9. And I'm 5'7.

You will probably outgrow your parents - the dominant gene tends to prevail, so you may have inherited your height from your father - but by how much is up to Nature.

Answer 5

it depends on genetics n external factors also.

ur height can be about 5'8-5'9 max.

Answer 6

how tall are your grandparents? you will be about your dad's height. if not a bit taller. you could get better answers if you stated your age and hieght. =]

Answer 7

My pediatrician said to average the two heights and add 3" for a boy... which would make you about 5'6".  (Subtract 3" for a girl)

The other "rule" is to take your height on your second b'day and double it.  

Of course, this gives me projectionss ranging from 5'5" to 6'0 for one of my children.

Answer 8

If you're worrying about being short, don't!  Just because your parents aren't tall doesn't mean you won't be.  The boy I dated all through high school has very short parents--probably in the 5'2 range.  He started out shorter than me, but by the time he hit his junior year, he was almost 6 feet tall!  He towered over me, and I thought it was so cool that I had loved him either way.  So ya just never know! :)

Answer 9

Somewhere between those most likely.  If you are male you will be closer to 5'6''.  Female closer to 5 foot.  Other relatives can play role in height, but the average child usually ends up very close to their same s*x parent.

Answer 10

6'2" more or less

Answer 11

My guess is 5'5 - 5'6 (assuming you're a boy)

I've heard you can take the average of the parents and add 2 inches for a boy, subtract 2 for a girl.  In your case the average is 5'3.5"

I checked my son's stats vs. the other poster's double the two year old height, and it works out the same as the average + 2 inches for him - 5'8" if I double his 2 year old height, and 5'8.5 if I do the average +2.

Of course this is all out the window if your parents are short due to poor nutrition as a child or some other reason they didn't reach their full potential height.

Answer 12

most of the time girls take after there dad and boys take after both

Answer 13

You can go to http://pediatrics.about.com/gi/dynamic/o... and see how tall.

Also, you can talk to your doctor, see what percentile you are in now, and this means you will likely continue to grow and stay in this percentile.

For both you need to know your current height to calculate it.

Answer 14

there's no way to know. it would depend on the heights of your grandparents as well as the nutrition, exercise and lifestyle you lead.

You probably won't be much taller than 5'6" but then again, you could be. It's a matter of genetics and health in childhood.

You'll just have to wait and see!

Answer 15

Between 4'11 and 5'6. Maybe the average!

Answer 16

1 inch tall

Answer 17

pretty short, most likely.
