How to use this tool
Enter a height and select its input unit. Select Convert height to see centimetres, metres, total inches, decimal feet and combined feet and inches. The tool accepts heights from 20 to 300 cm.
Worked example
One inch equals exactly 2.54 cm and one foot equals 12 inches. A height of 175.26 cm equals 69 inches, or 5 ft 9 in. Decimal 5.5 feet means 5 ft 6 in, not 5 ft 5 in.
Questions and answers
How do I enter 5 feet 10 inches?
Choose inches and enter 70. The feet option is decimal feet, so entering 5.10 means 5.1 feet rather than 5 feet 10 inches.
Why do some results have decimals?
Conversions can produce fractional values. Most displayed values round to two decimal places; metres retain up to four. The input measurement may be less precise than the conversion.
