Feet to centimetres multiplies by 30.48 (1 ft = 30.48 cm exactly). A 6 ft person is 182.88 cm; an 8 ft ceiling is 243.84 cm. For feet-and-inches strings, convert each part: 5 ft 10 in = 5 × 30.48 + 10 × 2.54 = 152.4 + 25.4 = 177.8 cm. This is the conversion used to enter a US-stated height into a metric medical record or a European clothing-size chart, both of which expect centimetres.
Gymnasts and yoga practitioners buying equipment sized to their height often see mat and beam specifications in feet from US brands but need centimetres to match a body-height chart used by an international federation. A 5.5 ft practitioner is 167.6 cm tall, which determines the correct beam or mat length category under most gymnastics federation sizing guides. Always convert full height including any fractional feet — rounding “5.5 ft” down to “5 ft” understates height by over 15 cm.
