Answer:

The length of the container is 4.572 meters, 365.76 centimeters, and 2590.8 millimeters.

Explanation:

To compare the length of the container to its breadth and height in metric units (m-cm-mm), we need to convert the given measurements to the desired units.

Given:

Length = 15 ft

Breadth = 12 ft

Height = 8 ft 6 in

First, let's convert the height from feet and inches to feet. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, the height in feet can be calculated as follows:

Height (in feet) = 8 ft + (6 in / 12 ft/in)

Height (in feet) = 8 ft + (0.5 ft)

Height (in feet) = 8.5 ft

Now, we have the following measurements:

Length = 15 ft

Breadth = 12 ft

Height = 8.5 ft

To convert these measurements to metric units, we'll use the conversion factors:

1 foot = 0.3048 meters

1 inch = 2.54 centimeters

Converting to meters:

Length (in meters) = 15 ft * 0.3048 m/ft

Length (in meters) = 4.572 m

Converting to centimeters:

Breadth (in centimeters) = 12 ft * 30.48 cm/ft

Breadth (in centimeters) = 365.76 cm

Converting to millimeters:

Height (in millimeters) = 8.5 ft * 30.48 cm/ft * 10 mm/cm

Height (in millimeters) = 2590.8 mm
