Compute, in centimeters and in meters, the height of a basketball player who is 6ft 2 in tall

Answer 1

6 ft 2 "

Step 1: first convert ft to inches: 6 ft * 12 inches/foot = 72 inches

Step 2: add 72" + 2" = 74 inches in height

Step 3: convert inches to cm using the conversion: 1" = 2.54 cm

74 * 2.54 = 188 cm (rounded up)

Step 4: convert 188 cm to meters is a matter of moving the decimal 2 spaces to the left.

188 cm = 1.88 m
