We have been given that Susan has a 12-inch board for constructing a wooden chair.The directions say to use a board that is 29 centimeters long. We are asked to determine if Susan's board is long enough to cut or not.

We know that 1 inch is equal to 2.54 cm.

Let us convert 12 inches into cm by multiplying 12 by 2.54.


12\text{ inches}=12* 2.54\text{ cm}


12\text{ inches}=30.48\text{ cm}

Since 12 inches is equal to 30.48 centimeters and 30.48 is greater than 29, therefore, Susan's board in long enough to cut.
