How to Convert Feet+Inches to Centimeters?
1 foot is equal to 30,48 centimeters:
1 ft = 30,48 cm
1 inch is equal to 2,54 centimeters:
1 in = 2,54 cm
The measurement denoted as ‘d’ in centimeters (cm) can be derived by multiplying the corresponding measurement ‘d’ in feet (ft) by 30.48 and adding to it the product of the measurement ‘d’ in inches (in) multiplied by 2.54:
Formula: d(cm) = d(ft) * 30.48 + d(in) * 2.54
Example
Example 1:
Imagine you’re installing a power strip under a desk, and you need to ensure there’s enough clearance for the plugs. The power strip is 2 feet 6 inches long. To convert this to centimeters, first, convert feet to inches: 2 feet * 12 inches/foot = 24 inches. Then add the remaining 6 inches, making a total of 30 inches. Now, the final conversion to centimeters: 30 inches * 2.54 cm/inch = 76.2 cm. So, the power strip is approximately 76.2 centimeters long, allowing you to plan the installation with precision.
Example 2:
Consider a person who is 5 feet and 8 inches tall. To convert this height to centimeters, first, we convert the feet to inches by multiplying 5 by 12 (since there are 12 inches in a foot), which gives us 60 inches. Then, we add the remaining 8 inches to get a total of 68 inches. To convert inches to centimeters, we use the conversion factor of 1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters. Thus, the person’s height in centimeters would be 68 inches * 2.54 cm/inch = 172.72 cm.
