I checked multiple sources, all stating that Elendil was 7 feet and 11 inches (2 and a half rangar).

"The Númenórean 'ranga' was slightly longer than our yard, approximately thirty-eight inches, owing to their great stature."

- 'The Unfinished Tales'

"Thus two 'rangar' was often called man-high, which at thirty-eight inches gives an average height of six feet four inches; but this was at a later date, when the stature of the Dúnedain appears to have decreased, and also was not intended to be an accurate statement of the observed average of male stature among them, but was an approximate length expressed in the well-known unit 'ranga'. (...) It is however said of the great people of the past that they were more than man-high."

- 'Unfinished Tales'

This to me says that the Númenóreans would have been somewhere in between Elendil's height of two and a half 'rangar' and man-high, which is described to be two 'rangar'. Now, just to make the math easier, I converted this into centimeters. Two and a half 'rangar' is 241 centimeters, and two 'rangar' is 193. So, I would say that the difference between those two numbers divided by two and added onto 193 is an approximate height for the Númenóreans. That gives us a height of 217 centimeters which converts into ≈7.1 feet*.


 * (241-193)÷2+193=217 (according to Google, 217 centimeters is equal to 7.11942 feet)
