Frequently asked questions
How tall is 170 cm in feet and inches?
170 cm is 5 feet 6.9 inches (about 5'7").
How do I convert feet and inches to cm by hand?
Multiply the feet by 12, add the inches, then multiply the total by 2.54 to get centimeters.
Why does my inches value show a decimal?
Centimeters don't divide evenly into whole inches, so the leftover is shown as a decimal (e.g. 6.9") rather than rounding away real precision.
