About the Height Converter
One inch is exactly 2.54 cm and a foot is 12 inches (30.48 cm). Heights are usually given in feet and inches in the US and UK, and in centimetres almost everywhere else, including on passports and medical forms.
The formula
inches = cm ÷ 2.54; feet = whole part of inches ÷ 12
- cm
- (feet × 12 + inches) × 2.54
