The total height in inches is ( 58 ) inches.
Steps to Solve
- Convert Feet to Inches
First, we need to know how many inches are in a foot. There are 12 inches in 1 foot.
To convert 4 feet into inches:
$$ 4 \text{ feet} \times 12 \text{ inches/foot} = 48 \text{ inches} $$
- Add Additional Inches
Now, we add the additional inches (10 inches) to the total inches we have from the feet conversion:
$$ 48 \text{ inches} + 10 \text{ inches} = 58 \text{ inches} $$
The total height in inches is ( 58 ) inches.
