Answer 1

Centimeter and feet:

Centimeter is the CGS unit of length, where feet is the FPS unit of length.

Step 1: Given data

Length = $15feet$

Step 2: Standard value of $1foot$ in $cm$

$1foot=30.48cm$

Step 3: Find the value of $15feet$ in $cm$

We know that $1foot=30.48cm$

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 15feet=30.48\times 15. \\ \Rightarrow 15feet=457.2cm. \end{gathered}$$

Thus, $15feet=457.2cm.$
