Given:

The basketball player Yao Ming is 7 feet 6 inches tall.

As we know: 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters

and 1 foot = 12 inch

So, we will convert the length of the player to centimeters as follows:


\text{length}=7\cdot12\cdot2.54+6\cdot2.54=228.6

So, the answer will be Yao Ming's height in centimeters = 228.6 cm
