#34 " inches"#

There are 12 inches to 1 foot. So for 2 feet we have 2 lots of 12

So we have:

#(2xx12)" inches "+ 10" inches"#

#24+10 " inches"#

#34 " inches"#

#34# #i##nches#

Remember

#color(brown)(1# #color(orange)(feet)=color(brown)(12# #color(orange)(i##color(orange)(nches#

#:.2# #feet=12*2=24# #i##nches#

So,

#2# #feet# #10# #i##nches#

#rarr=24+10#

#color(green)(rArr=34# #color(green)(i##color(green)(nches#
