Final answer:
Lebron James' height is first converted to inches (6 feet 9 inches is 81 inches). Using the conversion factor that 1 inch equals 2.54 cm, his height in centimeters is 205.74 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert Lebron James' height from feet and inches to centimeters, we follow a two-step process. First, we convert his height to inches, and then from inches to centimeters.
Step 1: Convert feet to inches
Lebron James is 6 feet 9 inches tall. There are 12 inches in 1 foot, so:
6 feet x 12 inches/foot = 72 inches
Then we add the remaining 9 inches:
72 inches + 9 inches = 81 inches
Step 2: Convert inches to centimeters
Now we use the conversion factor that 1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters.
81 inches x 2.54 cm/inch = 205.74 cm
Therefore, Lebron's height in centimeters is 205.74 cm.
