How this is calculated
cm = feet × 30.48 (exact)
The spec-sheet direction: a 6 ft person is 182.88 cm, a 2.5 ft desk is 76.2 cm, an 8 ft ceiling is 243.84 cm. For feet-and-inches heights, convert the inches to decimal feet first: 5 ft 10 in = 5.833 ft = 177.8 cm.
Exact ×30.48 by definition. The common rounding trap is going through 30 or 30.5 — a 6-footer becomes 180 or 183 cm depending on the shortcut; the exact answer is 182.88 and this page never approximates.
Frequently asked questions
What is 5 ft 10 in cm?
Five feet ten inches = 70 in = 177.8 cm. As decimal feet that is 5.833 ft — enter it that way above for the exact result.
What is 6 feet in cm?
182.88 cm exactly. The frequently-quoted 183 cm is a round-up; 182.88 is the definition doing its work.
How do I convert room sizes?
A 12 × 10 ft room is 365.8 × 304.8 cm (3.66 × 3.05 m). Convert each side separately; area then follows in metric (11.15 m²) rather than converting square feet directly.
Feet to meters or centimeters — which should I use?
Body heights and furniture read naturally in cm; rooms and buildings in meters. Same conversion, shifted decimal — our feet-to-meters page handles the larger scale.
