About converting feet to centimeters
Feet to centimeters is the height conversion of choice when an imperial height needs to be entered on a metric medical, sports, or ID form.
One foot is 30.48 centimeters (12 inches × 2.54 cm). To convert feet to centimeters, multiply by 30.48. A person who is 5 feet tall is 152.4 cm, and a 6-foot doorway clearance is 182.88 cm.
Most real heights are given in feet and inches together, so the practical method is to convert the whole height to inches first, then multiply by 2.54. A 5-foot-9 person is 69 inches, which is 69 × 2.54 = 175.26 cm — the figure a metric height chart expects.
- Convert feet-and-inches to total inches first, then multiply by 2.54 in one step.
- Handy anchors: 5'0" = 152.4 cm, 5'6" = 167.6 cm, 6'0" = 182.9 cm.
