How to convert height
An inch is defined as exactly 2.54 cm, and a foot is 12 inches (30.48 cm).
cm = (Feet × 12 + Inches) × 2.54
Total inches = cm ÷ 2.54
Feet = whole part of (Total inches ÷ 12), Inches = Total inches − Feet × 12
Example: 5 ft 9 in is 5 × 12 + 9 = 69 inches, and 69 × 2.54 = 175.26 cm. Going the other way, 180 cm ÷ 2.54 = 70.87 inches = 5 ft 10.9 in.
