    504 millimeters (or 50.4 cm)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Width of key in student calculator = 14 millimeter (1.4 cm)

    Width of key in demonstration calculator = 2.8 cm

    Thus, the demonstration calculator's dimensions are twice that of students' (in cm)

    Also given, student calculator height as 252 millimeters (25.2 cm)

    Thus demonstration calculator height will be twice of that = 50.4 cm (or 504 millimeters)
