The Vitruvian Man Experiment
Sasha Trimmingham Partner: Carlos Cruz
Class: Anatomy and Physiology Teacher: Ms.Grayek
Problem: Measuring from the chin to the hairline of multiple subjects will not have the same results
Hypothesis: If the bottom of the chin to the top of the head is measured it will be greater than one eighth of a person’s height.
Materials • 10 face
• 10 body
• Meter stick
• Ruler
• Pen/marker
• Paper
• Tablet
Procedure:
1. Gather all materials
2. Get a subject to measure
3. Put up against a stable and flat surface(for best results a white board)
4. Measure height, mark height for more accurate results
5. Lastly measure face
6. Collect data and analysis

Just because a person was tall does not necessarily mean your face length will be longer, nor the other way around. Face length cannot be determined by height, nor can your 1/8 of your body determine the length of your face. With this said the hypothesis was proven confirmed.
Discussion: The percentages of error were not very high, but still have a good error percentage to be proven very inaccurate. The percentage of error could have been most likely human error. Although the face length being one eight of your height seem realistic; a person’s face can be all different types of shapes and sizes regardless of height. In the end the results were not surprising. Conclusion: In conclusion, the hypothesis was proven to be correct. The measurement of a face does not determine height; while testing the subjects it was noted length of ones face is not equivalent to 1/8 of a body’s height. This experiment could have possibly worked better if measure from the highest point of the body to the chin, but it can still differ. The length of a face does not mean someone short or tall it can vary from person to person. Any measurement of the head cannot be able to determine the height of a
