1. Write a program that reads in a length in feet and inches and outputs the equivalent length in meters and centimeters. Use at least one programmer defined function for the conversion. Includ a loop that lets the user repeat this computation for new input values until the user says he or she wishes to end the program. There are 0.3048 meters in a foot, 100 centimeters in a meter, and 12 inches in a foot.

Question

Write the following in C++. 

1. Write a program that reads in a length in feet and inches and outputs the equivalent length in
meters and centimeters. Use at least one programmer defined function for the conversion. Include
a loop that lets the user repeat this computation for new input values until the user says he or she
wishes to end the program. There are 0.3048 meters in a foot, 100 centimeters in a meter, and 12
inches in a foot.
Useful Formulas:
A) meters = METERS_PER_FOOT * (feet + inches/INCHES_PER_FOOT);
%3D
Where "feet" is user entered value
"inches" is user Entered Value
"METERS_PER_FOOT" = 0.3048
"INCHES_PER_FOOT" = 12.0
B) centimeters = meters * 100;
Sample Run:
Enter length(feet and inches) =>50
Length in meters and centimeters = 1.524 and 152.4
Another calculation, press y =>y
Enter length(feet and inches) =>6 2
Length in meters and centimeters = 1.8796 and 187.96
Another calculation, press y =>n
