Height Conversion Formulas

All height conversions use these standard relationships:

• 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
• 1 foot = 12 inches = 30.48 centimeters
• 1 meter = 100 centimeters = 39.37 inches

Convert Height to Centimeters

• From meters: multiply by 100
• From inches: multiply by 2.54
• From feet: multiply by 30.48
• From feet and inches: $(feet \times 12 + inches) \times 2.54$

Convert Height to Feet and Inches

Divide total inches by 12. The whole number is feet; the remainder is inches. For example, 170 cm equals 66.93 inches, which is 5 feet 6.93 inches (written as 5'6.93").

Common Height Conversions

• 150 cm = 4'11" = 59.06 in
• 160 cm = 5'3" = 62.99 in
• 170 cm = 5'7" = 66.93 in
• 175 cm = 5'9" = 68.90 in
• 180 cm = 5'11" = 70.87 in
• 183 cm = 6'0" = 72.05 in
• 190 cm = 6'3" = 74.80 in

Metric vs Imperial Height

Most countries use the metric system (centimeters and meters) for height measurement. The United States and a few other countries primarily use feet and inches. When filling out international forms, you may need to convert between these systems. A person who is 1.75 meters tall is also 175 centimeters, 5 feet 9 inches, or 68.9 inches.
