You need to explain where the 50 cm come from, cite the height and where you got that height. It's important to not skip steps, it is preferable calcs have more information than less information

Edit: You should also just use pixel scaling for the whole's depth instead of angular size

Gapyrong Kim is at least 2 meters tall because his older self is the same height as Jinrang, who is 2 meters tall. Charles is also the same height as Gapyrong Kim, so he is at least 2 meters tall as well.

Due to perspective, the wall's thickness appears much smaller than it actually is. Therefore, using pixel scaling would not be accurate. Using angsize would be a better approach.

By that logic, the angsize formula should never be used. Even if the angle is bad, pixel scaling should be used to determine the distance.

Angular size is, by all means, a last resort, and pixel scaling is always a preferable alternative whenever someone has a choice. I've commented on the calc expressing the same things we've said here (Even the ones you addressed, mainly because no changes were made). If you still disagree with my opinions, you can always check with another CGM, but I believe I would need to be made aware of it, as a calculation can't be accepted if two CGMs have conflicting opinions about it
