larger height

This phrase is correct and commonly used when comparing the height of two or more objects.

Use 'larger height' when comparing the height of two or more objects to indicate that one has a greater vertical measurement than the other.

Examples:

  • The skyscraper has a larger height than the office building.
  • The mountain has a larger height than the hill.
  • In order to maintain a homogeneous field in the TEM cell and to obtain repeatable measurement results, the test object shall not be larger than one-third of the cell inside height.
  • In order to maintain a homogeneous field in the TEM cell and to obtain repeatable measurement results, the test object shall not be larger than one-third of the cell inside height.
  • In the Aspect Ratio Crop tool settings, you specify the Orientation as Portrait or Landscape. Portrait will always have the larger size assigned to the Height and Landscape to the Width.
  • With this option you may limit the maximum dimensions (width and height) of your images. Doing so will make the resulting export file smaller, but will of course also make the quality worse if someone wants to see the exported images with larger dimensions.

Alternatives:

  • greater height
  • taller height
  • more height
  • increased height
  • superior height

  • The tower has a higher height than the surrounding buildings.
