If she´s 5´8" and 135 lbs in normal size but she grows to a 150 foot tall giantess. What would her weight be... the GTS Converter says 169 tons. Can someone approve that ?

Do you really think so ? Just Imagine... A 150 feet tall Woman´s right foot would be the lenght of a truck... all in all she´d be longer than a Boing 747 or a Blue Whale. Do you really think that she wouldn´t weigh more than 3,5 tons ? 3,5 tons is like 4 grown bulls (wich compared to 150 feet of flesh doesn´t sound much to me. I think the problem with the math calculation of yours is that it´s a 2dimensional calculation. It´d be great though if one finds out the correct formular. Thanks buddie

Your question doesn't specify if she's going to get proprtionally thicker, or she going to stay as thin as she was at 5'8". If she's staying as slim, then the first answer is correct.
But it's more fair to assume she's going to get thicker as she gets taller.
The way I'd approach it: estimate how thick was she when she was 5'8" by assuming she's a cylinder 5'8" tall with the density that of water 1000kg/m^3. (Density of a human body is close to that of water.) Find the radius of the cylinder.
Then construct a cylinder 150 tall and with the radus proprtional to the 5'8" tall cylinder. Then use density of water to find the mass.

Well the growth wouldn't be linear but exponentially. Of course you know a human skeleton could not support a 150 tall woman and the circulatory system would also fail.
Robert Wadlow the tallest human at 8'11" weighed 490 lbs and he was fairly thin for his size. I would tend to agree that 1200 tons would be more likely. And they 4000 lbs guess would not work.
A two hundred foot white pine weighs about 67 tons but the diameter of a white pine would be a lot less than a human.

5'8" = 68"
150' = 1800"
as said above BUT...
She's 3d so we'll cube the resultant ratio:
1800/68 = 26.47...
26.47^3 = 18,547.73...
Multiplying that by 135 lbs ~ 2.5 million pounds
That's about 1,250 tons. That seems reasonable to me :)
The above calculations are made under similar densities.

5'8" = 68"
150' = 1800"
x / 1800 = 135/68
x = 135 * 1800 / 68 = 3573.5 lbs
Definitely not 169 tons, which would be 338,000 lbs, unless I'm misunderstanding the question.

5'8'' = 135
1'' = 135/68 = 1.99 lbs
150'' = 1.99 lbs x 1800 = 3582 lbs

Why bother wasting time on a ridiculous question.

She´d weigh alot... damn much.
