Converting 120 x 140 cm to Feet
When working with measurements, it's often necessary to convert between different units. In this case, we want to convert a measurement in centimeters to feet. Specifically, we want to convert a rectangular area with dimensions 120 cm x 140 cm to feet.
Understanding the Units
Before we dive into the conversion, let's quickly review the units involved:
- Centimeters (cm): A unit of length in the metric system, equal to one-hundredth of a meter.
- Feet (ft): A unit of length in the imperial system, equal to 12 inches or 30.48 centimeters.
Converting 120 cm to Feet
To convert 120 cm to feet, we can use the following conversion factor:
1 cm = 0.0328084 ft
Multiplying 120 cm by this conversion factor, we get:
120 cm × 0.0328084 ft/cm = 3.93 ft
Converting 140 cm to Feet
To convert 140 cm to feet, we can use the same conversion factor:
1 cm = 0.0328084 ft
Multiplying 140 cm by this conversion factor, we get:
140 cm × 0.0328084 ft/cm = 4.60 ft
The Result
Now that we've converted both dimensions, we can express the rectangular area in feet:
120 cm x 140 cm = 3.93 ft x 4.60 ft
There you have it! The converted dimensions in feet.
