Final answer:

A man who is 5 ft 10 in. tall weighs 160 lbs. His height in centimeters is 177.8 cm and his weight in kilograms is 72.57 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a person's height from feet and inches to centimeters, we need to convert each unit individually and add them up. 1 foot = 30.48 cm and 1 inch = 2.54 cm. So, the man's height in centimeters would be:

5 ft * 30.48 cm/ft + 10 in * 2.54 cm/in = 152.4 cm + 25.4 cm = 177.8 cm

To convert a person's weight from pounds to kilograms, we need to divide the weight in pounds by 2.205. So, the man's weight in kilograms would be:

160 lbs / 2.205 kg/lb = 72.57 kg

A man is 5 ft tall 10 inches tall.

We have to determine the height of a man in centimeters.

Since 1 feet = 30.48 cm and 1 inch=2.54 cm

To convert feet into cm, we will multiply the given feet by 30.48 and to convert inches into cm, we will multiply given inch by 2.54.

5 feet 10 inches

=
( 5 * 30.48 cm) +(10 * 2.54 cm)

= 152.4 cm + 25.4 cm

=177.8 cm

Therefore, a man is 177.8 centimeters tall.

Now, a man weighs 160 lbs. We have to determine its mass in kilograms.

Since, 1 pound(lb) = 0.45 kg

To convert pound into kilogram, we will multiply the given pound by 0.45.

Therefore,

160 lb =
160 * 0.45 kg

= 72 kg

Therefore, the mass of a man is 72 kg.
