1. **Stating the problem:** We have a vertical figure composed of a rectangle with length $3m\ 5cm$ connected on top to an ellipse with height $85cm$ and on the bottom to another ellipse with height $2m\ 20cm$. We want to understand or analyze the dimensions given. 2. **Convert all measurements to a consistent unit:** Let's convert all lengths to centimeters (cm) for easier calculation. - $3m\ 5cm = 300cm + 5cm = 305cm$ - $2m\ 20cm = 200cm + 20cm = 220cm$ - $85cm$ is already in cm. 3. **Total height of the figure:** The total height is the sum of the top ellipse height, the rectangle length, and the bottom ellipse height. $$\text{Total height} = 85cm + 305cm + 220cm = 610cm$$ 4. **Explanation:** The figure's total vertical length is $610cm$, which is $6m\ 10cm$ when converted back to meters and centimeters. This completes the analysis of the given dimensions.
