Final answer:

To convert 5 feet, 10 inches to meters, calculate the total height in inches (70 inches) and divide by the conversion factor (39.37 inches per meter) to get approximately 1.778 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the height of a person who is 5 feet, 10 inches into meters, we start by converting feet and inches to inches and then into meters. First, we know that 1 foot equals 12 inches. The person's height in inches is therefore (5 feet × 12 inches/foot) + 10 inches = 60 inches + 10 inches = 70 inches. Since 1 meter equals 39.37 inches, we can do the following calculation to get the height in meters:

Height in meters = Height in inches ÷ Conversion factor = 70 inches ÷ 39.37 inches/meter

Now we divide 70 by 39.37 to get the answer in meters:

70 inches ÷ 39.37 inches/meter ≈ 1.778 meters

Thus, a person who is 5 feet, 10 inches tall is approximately 1.778 meters tall.
