a. 62 inches
b. 65 inches

Explanation:

Step1: Convert feet to inches

Since 1 foot = 12 inches, we convert 5.75 feet to inches. The formula is \( \text{inches} = \text{feet} \times 12 \). So, \( 5.75\times12 = 69 \) inches.

Step2: Identify heights more than 69 inches

We check each option:

• A. 62 inches: \( 62 < 69 \), so no.
• B. 65 inches: \( 65 < 69 \), so no.
• C. 67 inches: \( 67 < 69 \), so no.
• D. 72 inches: \( 72 > 69 \), so yes.
• E. 77 inches: \( 77 > 69 \), so yes.

Answer:

D. 72 inches, E. 77 inches
