Human height is one of the few measurements routinely stated in two completely different systems depending on where you are — feet and inches in the US and UK, centimeters almost everywhere else. This tool converts either direction: enter feet/inches to get cm, or cm to get feet/inches, using the exact factor 1 in = 2.54 cm.
Common reference heights
| Feet / inches | Centimeters |
|---|---|
| 5 ft 0 in | 152.4 cm |
| 5 ft 4 in | 162.56 cm |
| 5 ft 6 in | 167.64 cm |
| 5 ft 9 in | 175.26 cm |
| 6 ft 0 in | 182.88 cm |
