Question

If you make multiple measurements of your height, you are likely to find that the results vary by nearly half an inch in either direction due to measurement error and actual variations in height. You are slightly shorter in the evening, after gravity has compressed and reshaped your spine over the course of a day. One measurement of a man's height is 5 feet and 11 inches .

Answer 1

Answer:

The height of the man in meters is 1.7 m

Explanation:

As we know, 1 feet = 0.3048 m

                      1 inch = 0.0254 m

Given height of man is 5 feet 11 inch

to calculate it in meters

5 feet = 5 $\times$ 0.3048

          = 1.524 m

7 inch = 7 $\times$ 0.0254

          = 0.1778 m

Total height of the man in meters is

5 feet + 7 inch = 1.524 m + 0.1778 m

                        = 1.7 m
