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 5 feet and 7 inches.

Pedro · Answer 1

Height h = 1.7 m

Explanation:

Supposing we have to find height in meter.

1 feet = 0.3048 m

1 inch = 0.0254 m

Given that:

5 feet

= 5*0.3048

= 1.524 m

and 7 inch = 7*0.0254 = 0.1778 m

Therefore total height of a man in meter

5 feet 7 inch = 1.5424+0.1778 = 1.7 m

Height h = 1.7 m
