Height is 5 feet 8 inches.

1 feet is 12 inches. So,

(5*12) + 8 = 68 inches

Now, let's convert to meters.

We know:

1 inch = 0.0254 meters

So, 68 inches would be:

68 * 0.0254 = 1.7272 meters

We would need to convert the fractional part (excess of 1, which is 0.7272) to cm.

We know:

1 m = 100 cm

So,

0.7272 m is:

0.7272 * 100 = 72.72 cm

Hence,

The answer is:

1 meters and 73 centimeters (rounded to neaerest cm)
