To convert the height of the building from centimeters to meters, we need to know the relationship between these two units of measurement. There are 100 centimeters in one meter.
Here are the steps to convert the height:
1. Start with the height of the building: 5700 cm.
2. Divide the number of centimeters by the number of centimeters in one meter.
3. The number of centimeters in one meter is 100.
So to find out how many meters tall the building is, you divide the height in centimeters by 100:
[tex]\[ \text{Building height in meters} = \frac{\text{Building height in centimeters}}{100} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Building height in meters} = \frac{5700}{100} \][/tex]
Now divide 5700 by 100:
[tex]\[ \text{Building height in meters} = 57 \][/tex]
Therefore, the building is 57 meters tall.
