Answer 1

Height A =
`12(3)/(4)` inches

Explanation:

Height A = Sum of widths of all sections of the cabinet + thickness of the wood

Height A =
`1(1)/(4)+(1)/(4)+4(1)/(2)+(1)/(4)+4(1)/(2)+2`

=
`(1+4+4+2)+((1)/(4)+(1)/(4)+(1)/(2)+(1)/(4)+(1)/(2))`

=
`11+((1+1+2+1+2)/(4) )`

=
`11+(7)/(4)`

=
`11+1(3)/(4)`

=
`11+1+(3)/(4)`

=
`12(3)/(4)` inches
