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 6 feet and 1 inch. Express his height in meters, using the appropriate number of significant figures.
Answer:
H = 1.85 m
Explanation:
First, we will convert the height completely into inches. 1 feet contains 12 inches in it. Therefore:
H = (6 feet)(12 inch/1 feet) + 1 inch
H = 73 inches
Now, we will convert this height from inches to meters. 1 inch is equivalent to 0.0254 m. Therefore:
H = (73 inches)(0.0254 m/1 inch)
H = 1.85 m
