The correct answer is: $6\text{ ft}=72\text{ in}\approx182.88\text{ cm}\approx1.8288\text{ m}$

Explanation

“6 foot” (more correctly said “6 feet tall” or “6-foot”) means six feet in height. To convert to other common units:

Steps:

  1. Convert feet to inches: $$6\times12=72\text{ in}$$
  2. Convert inches to centimeters using $1\text{ in}=2.54\text{ cm}$: $$72\times2.54=182.88\text{ cm}$$
  3. Convert centimeters to meters: $$182.88\div100=1.8288\text{ m}$$

Therefore, a person who is 6 feet tall is 72 inches tall, which is about $182.88\text{ cm}$ (commonly rounded to $183\text{ cm}$) or about $1.83\text{ m}$.
