Span and length are the manufacturer's published figures and are drawn true. The outline between those points is a generic planform for this configuration — it is a scale drawing, not a technical one.
You can stand up in it.
The cabin drawn to scale, with a 5.83 ft person — 5 ft 10 in, average US adult male height — standing in it. Cabin height is the single specification that most changes how a four-hour flight feels, and it is the one least often shown.
