To convert 3 feet 6 inches into centimeters, follow these steps:
-
Convert the feet into inches:
- There are 12 inches in a foot, so: \[ 3 \text{ feet} = 3 \times 12 = 36 \text{ inches} \]
-
Add the additional inches: \[ 36 \text{ inches} + 6 \text{ inches} = 42 \text{ inches} \]
-
Convert inches to centimeters using the conversion factor (1 inch = 2.54 cm): \[ 42 \text{ inches} \times 2.54 \text{ cm/inch} = 106.68 \text{ cm} \]
Therefore, there are approximately 106.68 centimeters in 3 feet 6 inches.
