Understanding the Conversion
To convert centimeters (cm) to feet (ft) and inches (in), we need to know the conversion factors:
- 1 cm = 0.032808399 ft (approx.)
- 1 ft = 30.48 cm (exact)
- 1 in = 2.54 cm (exact)
Converting 170 cm to Feet and Inches
To convert 170 cm to feet and inches, we can use the following steps:
