The correct answer is C) 178.
To convert feet and inches into centimeters, you can use the following conversions:
1 foot = 30.48 centimeters
1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
Since there are 5 feet, we can multiply 5 by 30.48 to get the centimeters equivalent of the feet:
5 feet * 30.48 centimeters = 152.4 centimeters
Next, we convert the inches: 10 inches * 2.54 centimeters = 25.4 centimeters
Finally, we add the centimeters for the feet and inches together:
152.4 centimeters + 25.4 centimeters = 177.8 centimeters
Therefore, 5 feet and 10 inches is equal to 177.8 centimeters, which is closest to option C) 178.
To convert 5 feet, 10 inches into centimeters, follow these steps:

The closest option is C: 178 centimeters.
