If the tubing on a Bb tenor trombone were straightened out, it would meaure 108 inches (or 9 feet) from mouthpiece to bell.
Trombones come in many sizes. However, the common tenor, Bb (B-flat) trombone is -- if you were to stretch the tubing out in a straight line -- nine feet long. This is what gives the instrument its fundamental pitch of Bb. By comparison, a Bb trumpet, which is pitched an octave higher than the trombone, is exactly half the length of its larger cousin: 4½ feet long. There are trombones larger and smaller than this common Bb instrument. The contrabass trombone is typically pitched an octave below the tenor trombone. Its overall length would be 18 feet (doubled, of course). The soprano trombone (or slide trumpet) is the same length of the standard Bb trumpet, mentioned above.
Depending on the size and brand, usually around 16-18 feet.
A Bb (B-flat) tenor trombone is nine feet long. That's why it produces a B-flat. Comparitively, a Bb trumpet -- being exactly one octave higher -- is exactly half the length, at 4½ feet.
About 7 feet if the slide is in 7th position I Think!!
About 9 feet.

A trombone.
It can in some cases. "How many feet is ___?" means the same as "How long is ___ in feet?"
About 7 feet if the slide is in 7th position I Think!!
