Express your height in the units of inches, feet, and meters.
Height when checked with the help of a ruler is 6 ft.
Therefore, the height in the units of feet, h is 6ft.
Calculate the height in inches,
1 feet = 12 inches
Therefore, the height h = (6 ft) × (12 in./ft)
= 72 in.
Therefore, the height in the units of inches, h is 72 in.
From the table “Conversion factors between certain quantities in the USCS and SI” for length the relationship between meter and feet as follows,
1 ft = 0.3048m
Therefore, the height h = (6 ft) × (0.3048/1 m/ft)
= 1.8288m
Therefore, the height in the units of meters, h is 1.8288m.
Therefore, the height in the units of meters, h is 1.8288m.
