cm to ft Converter
Convert centimeters to feet and inches accurately. Essential for construction, height verification, and international trade.
About
Global industries often struggle with the disconnect between metric and imperial systems. Construction professionals in the US use feet and inches. European suppliers manufacture materials in centimeters. This converter acts as a bridge between these standards. It is critical for height verification in medical exams or aviation compliance. Real estate agents use it to translate floor plans for international clients. The dual output showing both decimal feet and broken-down inches ensures suitability for both engineering software and tape measure reading.
Formulas
One centimeter is approximately equal to 0.0328 feet. To find the total feet we multiply the centimeter value by this constant.
To calculate feet and inches we take the integer part as feet and multiply the fractional remainder by 12.
