The correct answer is: $1.70\text{ m} = 5.5774278215\text{ ft} \approx 5.58\text{ ft}$
Explanation
To convert meters to feet use the factor $1\text{ m}=3.280839895\text{ ft}$. Multiply the meters by that factor and round as desired.
Steps:
- Conversion factor: $$1\text{ m}=3.280839895\text{ ft}$$
- Multiply: $$1.70\text{ m}\times3.280839895\frac{\text{ft}}{\text{m}}=5.5774278215\text{ ft}$$
- Round as needed: $$\approx5.58\text{ ft}\ (\text{to 2 decimal places})$$
Optional — as feet and inches:
- Fractional feet to inches: $$0.5774278215\text{ ft}\times12\frac{\text{in}}{\text{ft}}=6.929133858\text{ in}$$
- So $$1.70\text{ m}\approx5\text{ ft }6.93\text{ in}$$
Therefore, 1.70 meters is about 5.5774 ft (or 5 ft 6.93 in).
