<h2>Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
The total height of the 17-story building is 74.29 meters.
<h2>Why?</h2>This a unit convertion problem. We know that there is a 17-story building and the height of each story, we need to convert the units and then, calculate the total height.
We need to use the following convertion factors:
Now, converting the given units we have:
Meters to centimeters:
Decimeters to centimeters:
So, we know that one story measures 4 meters, 2 decimeters (dm) and 17 centimeters (cm), and if we want to calculate the total height of the 17-story building, we need to use the following equation:
Now,
Converting from centimeters to meters, we have:
Hence, we have that the total height of the 17-story building is 74.29 meters.
Have a nice day!
