How to Convert Feet to CM
To convert feet and inches to centimeters, use this formula:
Since 1 foot equals 12 inches and 1 inch equals exactly 2.54 cm, one foot equals 12 × 2.54 = 30.48 cm.
Example: Convert 5 feet 9 inches to centimeters:
- Feet portion: 5 × 30.48 = 152.4 cm
- Inches portion: 9 × 2.54 = 22.86 cm
- Total: 152.4 + 22.86 = 175.26 cm
The conversion factors are exact constants defined by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) in 1959. They are not approximations.

FAQ
How do I convert feet to cm?
Multiply the feet value by 30.48, then add the remaining inches multiplied by 2.54. For example, 5′9″ = (5 × 30.48) + (9 × 2.54) = 175.26 cm.
How many cm is 5 feet 10 inches?
(5 × 30.48) + (10 × 2.54) = 177.8 cm. That is approximately 1.778 meters.
