Feet to centimetres, for the moment an imperial height or dimension has to go onto a metric form — visa and medical paperwork outside the US, ceiling and doorway heights against metric furniture, room dimensions from a US listing.
Frequently asked questions
What is 5 foot 10 in centimetres?
177.8 cm. Convert to total inches first (5 × 12 = 60, plus 10 = 70), then multiply by 2.54. Doing it as 5 × 30.48 alone would miss the loose inches.
What's the formula for feet to cm?
Multiply by 30.48. That figure is exact, not rounded — a foot is 12 inches and an inch is defined as exactly 2.54 cm.
