A little more perspective
AMNH’s species facts list 22 to 24 meters long. The selected 24 meters is the upper end of that range, not an independently measured maximum or the exact length of the museum’s steel-and-fiberglass biomechanics model.
The extended neck and complete whip-like tail make whole-body length visible. The thick neck and robust torso distinguish this restoration from the slimmer Diplodocus. Soft tissues, skin and internal segment proportions are interpretive; the horizontal measurement does not specify standing height.
