To convert the measurements from centimeters to inches, we need to use the conversion factor of 1cm = 0.39inches.
So, the table top measurements in inches will be:
50cm * 0.39in/cm = 19.5in
75cm * 0.39in/cm = 29.25in
Therefore, the correct answer is A) 19.5in x 29.25in.
To find the size of the table in inches, you need to convert the given measurements from centimeters (cm) to inches (in).
Given that 1cm is equal to 0.39in, you can use this conversion factor to convert from cm to in.
To convert the width, which is 50cm, you can multiply it by the conversion factor:
50cm * 0.39in/cm = 19.5in
To convert the length, which is 75cm, you can also multiply it by the conversion factor:
75cm * 0.39in/cm = 29.25in
Therefore, the correct answer is option A: 19.5in x 29.25in.
