Good to know

inches = cm ÷ 2.54. The inch is defined as exactly 2.54 cm, so this conversion has no rounding in the factor itself.

For height in feet and inches: divide the inches by 12. Example: 170 cm = 66.93 in = 5 ft 6.93 in, so about 5 ft 7 in.

Screen sizes (TV, phone, laptop) are measured in inches across the diagonal. A 43-inch TV is 109.2 cm diagonally, not wide.
