Formula
How the calculation works
The value is first turned into centimetres using the unit you picked.
Then it is divided by the target unit's size to give the answer.
So five foot nine is about 179.8 centimetres, and 180 centimetres is about 5.9 feet.
Common mistakes
- Mixing feet with inches, since five foot nine is 5.75 feet, not 5.9.
- Using the wrong unit for the input and then blaming the result.
When to use it
- Use it to switch a height between centimetres, metres, feet and inches.
- It is not a growth chart; it converts a number, it does not judge it.
Worked example
A height of 5.9 feet converts to 179.832 cm, 1.79832 m and 70.8 inches.
Common questions
How many centimetres are in a foot?
One foot is exactly 30.48 centimetres and one inch is exactly 2.54 centimetres, which are the factors used here.
Why does the tool show all units?
Seeing every unit together avoids a second conversion and helps when a form asks for one specific unit.
