how can we make a model of heights and distances?

On paper, it is simple, u will use a y-axis for elev,, x-axis for distances --- like a Profile layout.\nBut i reckon u want a display 'model', well same logic, and u can use diff color.. only use very fine plumb lines or plastic threads as interconnections. Better encase the result in a glass/Plexiglas cabinet.

See how you can model a human face here:\n\nhttp://www.3drender.com/jbirn/ea/HeadModel.html

your question is not clear. describe positions of the objects.

hi\nwe call the distance between tow points as geometry.\nu can name this distance as measurment.\nor sth like this

I believe so. By triangulation. Of course, you need to know already some distances.

if all the lines are equal in every way (duplicate) then you can put a measurment (dimension) from the existing line to a datum or border whichever you choose and then put a callout like 3@12.00' (3 lines at 12.00 feet)in the dimensionwith a arrow pointing at the line.\n\njeff

Area = base * height\nBase = Area / height\n     = 50.15/ 5.9\n     = 8.5

do you mean things as far as max and mins, asymptotes and things like that?\n\nif you are a little more specific i can help you better, or e-mail me, it would be a little easier  matttlocke@yahoo.com

measure the height of the water in bucket or sink you're putting the model in BEFORE you put the model in.  Then put the model in and remeasure the water height.  Use the height and the dimensions of the vessel (bucket, sink, etc.) to calculate the volume of water that's displaced.  Using a perfectly circular or square vessel will be ideal.

Singapore has one of them most spectacular skylines, why not do a 3dimensional model, Build to scale, it will be fun, and if done well, will look spectacular.. You can use model railroad materials to make trees, and water features.. they can be made from fast set resins.. you could really have a laugh. Be creative..don´t do what everyone else does.

By applications I assume you mean uses similarity can be put to, not indicators of similarity as answers 1 and 2 assumed. Probably the simplest application of similarity is the one you must have heard about: you can estimate the height H of a tree or building by measuring the length of its shadow L and at the same time measuring the length L2 of the shadow of a stick pushed upright into the ground. If we call the length of the above-ground part of the stick H2, then H/L = H2/L2 because of similarity.\nEDIT: You actually have two similar triangles although only two sides of each triangle are of interest. The third side is the hypotenuse which is the path taken by the light that skims the tops of the tree or building and the stick.

Base on study, human growth/height velocity is based on genetic and growth. As per the sample chart in the attached website, your projected height will be as follows:\n\nAgeHeight\n135'11\n146'2\n156'5\n166'7\n176'8\n186'8\n196'9\n206'9\n\nDo let me know if this is correct.

Convert everything to inches, then multiply.  LxHxW.  They need to be the same units, though.

Try Google Earth.  It appears to be fairly accurate if you are in the U.S.  I have used it in my job, comparing it to a different data source, and have had good results.  Plus, it's just kinda fun!

On 1 graph you could put age(x) and height(y).....and on another graph, you could probably put age(x) and weight(y)......I think :)
