Answer 4

The "Vitruvian Man" is a world-renowned drawing (dim. 25 x 19.2 cm) with accompanying notes created by Leonardo da Vinci around the year 1487 as recorded in one of his journals.

According to Leonardo's notes in the accompanying text, written in mirror writing, it was made as a study of the proportions of the (male) human body as described in Vitruvius, who wrote that in the human body:

    * a palm is the width of four fingers

      

This derivation of the Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci, depicts nine historical units of measurement: the Yard, the Span, the Cubit, the Flemish Ell, the English Ell, the French Ell, the Fathom, the Hand , and the Foot. The Vitruvian man was drawn to scale, so the units depicted are displayed with their proper historical ratios.

The Vitruvian man was drawn to scale, so the units depicted are displayed with their proper historical ratios.

    * a foot is the width of four palms (i.e. 12 inches)

    * a cubit is the width of six palms

    * a man's height is four cubits (and thus 24 palms)

    * a pace is four cubits

    * the length of a man's outspread arms is equal to his height

    * the distance from the hairline to the bottom of the chin is one-tenth of a man's height

    * the distance from the top of the head to the bottom of the chin is one-eighth of a man's height

    * the maximum width of the shoulders is a quarter of a man's height

    * the distance from the elbow to the tip of the hand is one-fifth of a man's height

    * the distance from the elbow to the armpit is one-eighth of a man's height

    * the length of the hand is one-tenth of a man's height

    * the distance from the bottom of the chin to the nose is one-third of the length of the head
