Question

At a local museum, a statue must be at least 202 centimeters tall for display purposes. Steve wants to give the museum the statue he built. His statue is 3 feet 5 inches tall. Is Steve's statue tall enough to be accepted by the museum? Explain. Click the icon to view the customary and metric unit equivalents. Choose the correct answer below. A. No. 3 ft 5 in . $$ =51 \mathrm{in} $$. Multiply 51 by 2.54 to find the height of Steve's statue to the nearest tenth of a centimeter: $$ 51 	imes 2.54 \mathrm{~cm}=129.5 \mathrm{~cm} $$, and $$ 129.5 \mathrm{~cm}<202 \mathrm{~cm} $$. B. No. 3 ft 5 in . $$ =51 \mathrm{in} $$. Divide 51 by 2.54 to find the height of Steve's statue to the nearest tenth of a centimeter: $$ 51 \div 2.54 \mathrm{~cm}=20.1 \mathrm{~cm} $$, and $$ 20.1 \mathrm{~cm}<202 \mathrm{~cm} $$. C.

1. Convert Steve's statue height to inches:
   - $$3$$ feet equals $$3 \times 12 = 36$$ inches.
   - Adding $$5$$ inches gives a total of $$36 + 5 = 41$$ inches.

2. Convert the total inches to centimeters:
   - Multiply by $$2.54$$ (since $$1$$ inch equals $$2.54$$ centimeters):
     $$
     41 \times 2.54 \approx 104.1 \text{ cm}
     $$

3. Compare the statue's height to the museum requirement:
   - The museum requires the statue to be at least $$202$$ centimeters tall.
   - $$104.1 \text{ cm} < 202 \text{ cm}$$, so the statue is too short.

Thus, the correct answer is:

C. No. $$3 \text{ ft } 5 \text{ in } = 41 \text{ in}$$. Multiply $$41$$ by $$2.54$$ to find the height of Steve's statue to the nearest tenth of a centimeter: $$41 \times 2.54 \text{ cm} = 104.1 \text{ cm}$$, and $$104.1 \text{ cm} < 202 \text{ cm}$$.
Steve's statue is not tall enough for the museum because it measures approximately 104.1 centimeters, which is less than the required 202 centimeters.
