To put this measurement into perspective, here are some comparisons to known objects of similar size:
1. The average adult male height is around 5 feet 7 inches, or 170 cm. Therefore, 188.5 cm is taller than the average adult male.
2. The height of a standard door is around 2 meters, or 200 cm. Thus, 188.5 cm is slightly shorter than a standard door.
3. The length of a standard single bed is 6 feet 3 inches, or 190.5 cm. So, 188.5 cm is slightly shorter than the length of a single bed.
4. The width of a standard refrigerator is around 3 feet, or 91 cm. Therefore, 188.5 cm is almost as tall as two refrigerators stacked on top of each other.
5. The height of a kitchen countertop is typically around 3 feet, or 91 cm. Thus, 188.5 cm is almost as tall as two kitchen countertops stacked on top of each other.
