To convert height from feet and inches to centimeters, we use the following conversion factors:
- 1 foot is equal to 30.48 centimeters.
- 1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters.
In the case of 5 feet 4 inches, we first convert the feet to centimeters:
5 feet = 5 × 30.48 cm = 152.4 cm
Next, we convert the inches to centimeters:
4 inches = 4 × 2.54 cm = 10.16 cm
Now, we add the two results together to find the total height in centimeters:
Total height = 152.4 cm + 10.16 cm = 162.56 cm
Thus, 5 feet 4 inches is equivalent to 162.56 centimeters.
