Question

Compute, in centimeters and in meters, the height of a basketball player who is 6 ft 1 in. tall into cm and m

Answer 1

The height of a basketball player who is 6 ft 1 in. tall can be calculated as 73 inches, which converts to 185.42 cm or 1.8542 m using the conversion of 1 inch to 2.54 cm and dividing by 100 to get meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the height of a basketball player who is 6 ft 1 in. tall in centimeters and meters, we first need to convert the height into inches, and then use the conversion factor that 1 meter equals 39.37 inches. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, the player's height in inches is:

(6 ft × 12 in/ft) + 1 in = 73 inches.

Next, we convert inches to centimeters using the conversion factor of 1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters:

73 in × 2.54 cm/in = 185.42 cm.

To convert to meters, knowing that there are 100 centimeters in a meter, we divide the centimeters by 100:

185.42 cm ÷ 100 = 1.8542 meters.

The basketball player is 185.42 cm or 1.8542 m tall.

Answer 2

We will have that:

6ft 1in is:

`6ft((12in)/(1ft))+1in=73in`

Then:

`73in((2.54cm)/(1in))=185.42cm`

So, the solution is both meters and cm are respectively.

1.8542 m and 185.42 cm.
