1 Meter 70 cm is How Many Feet and Inches?
Have you ever wondered how to convert a height measurement from the metric system to the Imperial system? In this article, we will explore how to convert 1 meter 70 cm to feet and inches.
Conversion from Metric to Imperial
To convert a height measurement from meters and centimeters to feet and inches, we need to understand the conversion factors. One meter is equal to 3.2808 feet, and one centimeter is equal to 0.3937 inches.
Calculating the Equivalent Height
Let's break down the calculation into two parts:
Part 1: Converting Meters to Feet
1 meter is equal to 3.2808 feet, so:
1 meter = 3.2808 feet
Part 2: Converting Centimeters to Inches
70 cm is equal to:
70 cm × 0.3937 inches/cm = 27.59 inches
Now, let's convert 70 cm to feet and inches. There are 12 inches in 1 foot, so:
27.59 inches ÷ 12 = 2.3 feet and 3.59 inches
Adding the Two Parts Together
Now that we have converted both parts, let's add them together:
3.2808 feet (from 1 meter) + 2.3 feet (from 70 cm) = 5.5808 feet
To get the total height in feet and inches, we add the remaining inches:
5.5808 feet = 5 feet and 6.91 inches
The Answer
Therefore, 1 meter 70 cm is equivalent to 5 feet and 6.91 inches.
I hope this article has helped you to easily convert metric measurements to Imperial measurements.
