Jorge is 4 feet tall, which is equivalent to 48 inches. With the conversion factor of 2.54 centimeters per inch, Jorge's height in centimeters is 121.92 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert Jorge's height from feet to centimeters, we will first convert feet to inches and then inches to centimeters. There are 12 inches in one foot and 2.54 centimeters in one inch.

First, we convert Jorge's height into inches:

• 1 foot = 12 inches.
• So, 4 feet x 12 inches/foot = 48 inches.

Next, we convert inches to centimeters:

• So, 48 inches x 2.54 centimeters/inch = 121.92 centimeters.
