Robot Vitruvian Hands By Brandon, Brian, Maira, and Cesar
da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man Proportions “The length of the hand is one tenth the length of a man” h= 1/10m “a man is 24 palms” m=24p “a palm is four fingers” p=4f
The length of the Hand. h=1/10m Given h=1/10(136) Substitution h=13.6 inches Simplifying
Width of the Palm m=24p Given 136=24p Substitution 136/24 = 24p/24 Division 5.6=p Simplifying p=5.6 inches Symmetric
Width of the Finger p=4f Given 5.6=4f Substitution 5.6/4 = 4f/4 Division 1.4=f Simplifying f=1.4 inches Symmetric
Using the Properties of Equality, we found that each hand must be 13.6 inches long. Each palm must be the width of 5.6 inches. And each finger must be 1.4 inches wide.
