To convert a height of 5 feet 6 inches to centimeters, follow these steps:
First, convert 5 feet to centimeters. Each foot equals about 30.48 centimeters, so:
5 feet * 30.48 cm/foot = 152.4 cm
Next, convert 6 inches to centimeters. One inch equals 2.54 centimeters, so:
6 inches * 2.54 cm/inch = 15.24 cm
Now, add these two results together:
152.4 cm (from feet) + 15.24 cm (from inches) = 167.64 cm
Therefore, a height of 5 feet 6 inches is approximately 167.64 centimeters.
