How to convert between metric and imperial dimensions
When dealing with feet and inches to centimeters, or vice versa, remember that 1 inch equals exactly 2.54 centimeters, and 1 foot is 12 inches (or 30.48 cm).
Example - Converting 5 feet 9 inches to cm:
1. Convert feet to inches: 5 × 12 = 60 inches
2. Add the remaining inches: 60 + 9 = 69 inches altogether
3. Multiply total inches by 2.54: 69 × 2.54 = 175.26 cm
