How to convert centimetres to feet
Heights are measured in centimetres by doctors and on passports, but many people describe them in feet and inches. This shows both.
Divide the centimetres by 30.48 to get feet. The whole number is the feet; multiply the decimal part by 12 for the inches.
Quick estimate: 150 cm is just under 5 ft and every extra 2.5 cm adds about an inch, so 175 cm ≈ 5 ft 9 in.
Worked example
165 centimetres is 5.41339 ft (5 ft 5 in) (165 × 0.032808399).
