To express the measurement in terms of centimeters, we need to convert the millimeters to centimeters.

Given:
Length = 54 cm and 4 mm

1 cm = 10 mm

Converting 4 mm to centimeters:
4 mm = 4/10 cm = 0.4 cm

Adding the converted value to the given measurement:
54 cm + 0.4 cm = 54.4 cm

Therefore, the measurement in terms of centimeters is 54.4 cm.

To express the length in terms of centimeters, we first need to convert the millimeters to centimeters, as 1 centimeter is equal to 10 millimeters.

Given that Zebiba measured the length as 54 cm and 4 mm, we can convert the 4 mm to centimeters.

First, let's convert 4 mm to cm:

4 mm = 4/10 cm = 0.4 cm

Now, adding the original length measured in centimeters to the converted length:

54 cm + 0.4 cm = 54.4 cm

So the length of the table is 54.4 cm. If you'd like to express this in its most reduced form, it's already in its lowest form.
