How to Convert Inches to Centimeters?
1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters:
1″ = 2,54 cm
The measurement denoted as ‘d’ in centimeters (cm) can be equated to the measurement also labeled as ‘d’ in inches (″), multiplied by a factor of 2.54:
d(cm) = d(inch) * 2.54
Example
Consider a scenario where we need to convert inches to centimeters. Let’s take an everyday example: the dimensions of a smartphone screen. If the screen size is 6 inches, the conversion to centimeters can be done as follows:
1 inch = 2.54 cm
So, for a 6-inch smartphone screen:
d(cm) = 6 inches * 2.54 cm/inch = 15.24 cm
Hence, the smartphone screen measures 15.24 centimeters diagonally.
