Question: Scenario 30: You calculate a suspect's described height as 5 feet 10 inches. In a report, you might convert this to metric. What is this height in meters (approximately, 1 inch = 2.54 cm, 1 foot = 30.48 cm)?

Answer options:

• 1.70 m
• 1.78 m ✅ 1.83 m
• 1.90 m

Correct answer: 1.83 m

Explanation: 1 foot = 12 inches. So, 5 feet 10 inches = (5 * 12) + 10 = 60 + 10 = 70 inches. Convert inches to cm: 70 inches * 2.54 cm/inch = 177.8 cm. Convert cm to meters: 177.8 cm / 100 = 1.778 meters, which is approximately 1.78 meters. The correct answer is "1.83 m".
