How it's calculated
1 in = 2.54 cm (exact) · 1 ft = 12 in = 0.3048 m · 1 yd = 3 ft · 1 mi = 5,280 ft = 1.609344 kmImperial lengths are defined from the meter, so these conversions are exact.
Worked example
6 ft × 0.3048 = 1.8288 m (about 183 cm). A 5 km race is 5 ÷ 1.609344 = 3.11 miles.
How do I convert height in feet and inches?
Multiply feet by 12, add the inches, then convert from inches. For example, 5 ft 9 in = 69 in = 175.26 cm.
