Solved Examples

Example 1: Express the length of 5 feet 4 inches in cm.

Solution:

5 feet 4 inches in cm 

We know that 1 feet = 12 inch

1 inch = 2.54 cm

So, 5 feet 4 inches = [(5 × 12) + 4] × 2.54 cm

= 64 × 2.54 cm

= 162.56 cm

Therefore, 5 feet 4 inches is equivalent to 162.56 cm.

Example 2: Write 6 feet 5 inches in cm.

Solution:

We know that 1 feet = 12 inch

1 inch = 2.54 cm

So, 6 feet 5 inches = [(6 × 12) + 5] × 2.54 cm

= 77 × 2.54 cm

= 195.58 cm

Therefore, 6 feet 5 inches is equivalent to 195.58 cm.
