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.

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.
