Plant's height after 31 months:82 centimeters

<h3>How to find the height of the plant</h3>

The equation that can be used to find the height of the plant is given as

h = 52 centimeters + 1m

We have that the plant grows at 1 centimeter every month hence we have 1m in the equation.

Then the number of periods is m, Now we are to find the height in this period of time

h = 52 + 1*31

= 51 + 31

= 82

Hence the height after 31 months is given as 82 centimeters.
