When dealing with measurements, it's essential to understand how to convert between different units. In this article, we'll explore how to convert the dimensions 130 x 160 cm to feet and inches.
What are Centimeters?
Centimeters (cm) are a unit of length in the metric system. They are equal to one hundredth of a meter. Centimeters are commonly used to measure smaller lengths, such as the size of objects, rooms, and even people.
What are Feet and Inches?
Feet and inches are units of length in the imperial system. One foot is equal to 12 inches, and one inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters. Feet and inches are commonly used to measure lengths in the United States and other countries that use the imperial system.
Converting 130 x 160 cm to Feet and Inches
To convert 130 x 160 cm to feet and inches, we need to perform two separate conversions: one for the length and one for the width.
Length (130 cm)
- 1 meter = 100 centimeters
- 1 meter = 3.2808 feet
- 130 cm = 1.3 meters (since 130 cm is equal to 1.3 meters)
- 1.3 meters = 4.265 feet (after converting 1.3 meters to feet)
Since 4.265 feet is not a whole number, we can convert the decimal part to inches:
- 0.265 feet = 3.18 inches (since 1 foot = 12 inches)
So, the length of 130 cm is equal to 4 feet 3.18 inches.
Width (160 cm)
- 160 cm = 1.6 meters (since 160 cm is equal to 1.6 meters)
- 1.6 meters = 5.249 feet (after converting 1.6 meters to feet)
Since 5.249 feet is not a whole number, we can convert the decimal part to inches:
- 0.249 feet = 2.99 inches (since 1 foot = 12 inches)
So, the width of 160 cm is equal to 5 feet 2.99 inches.
Final Conversion
Therefore, the dimensions 130 x 160 cm are equal to 4 feet 3.18 inches x 5 feet 2.99 inches.
I hope this article has helped you understand how to convert centimeters to feet and inches. Remember to always double-check your conversions to ensure accuracy.
