Kate is 5 feet 2 inches tall. Alice is 1.57 metres tall.

Alice says that she is taller than Kate.

Use the conversions below to decide if Alice is correct.

12 inches = 1 foot

1 inch = 2.5 centimetres

some help would be much appreciated thanks

Yes, Alice is taller than Kate

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Kate is 5 feet 2 inches tall.

Alice is 1.57 metres tall.

Kate's height = 5 feet 2 inches

Converting Kate's height to meters

1 foot = 12 inches

Hence,

5 feets = (12 * 5) = 60 inches

Kate's height = 60 inches + 2 inches = 62 inches

1 inch = 2.5 centimeters

62 inches = (2.5 * 62) = 155 centimeters

Kate = 155 centimeter tall

Alice's height = 1.57 meters

1 meter = 100 centimeters

1.57 meters = (1.57 * 100) = 157 centimeters

157 > 155

Hence, Alice is taller than Kate

i think the answer is b x = 1, y = 35/2

perimeter = 10 +  √10  units

explanation:

first, we will need to get the length of each line using the distance formula which is as follows:

distance = 

1- length of ab:

ab =   = 5 units

2- length of ac

length of ac is the same as ab = 5 units

3- length of bc:

bc =   =  √10  units

now, we can get the perimeter by adding the side lengths as follows:

perimeter = 5 + 5 +  √10

perimeter = 10 +  √10  units

hope this : )
