To convert a height measurement from feet and inches to centimeters, we can use the following conversion factors:
- 1 foot is equal to 30.48 centimeters
- 1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters
For a person who is 6 feet 3 inches tall, we first separate the feet and inches:
6 feet = 6 x 30.48 cm = 182.88 cm
3 inches = 3 x 2.54 cm = 7.62 cm
Now, we simply add both measurements together:
182.88 cm + 7.62 cm = 190.5 cm
So, the height of a 6 foot 3 inch tall person is 190.5 centimeters.
