Example 1: Convert 5 ft 9 in to CM

Step	Calculation	Result
1. Feet to cm	5 x 30.48	152.40 cm
2. Inches to cm	9 x 2.54	22.86 cm
3. Add them	152.40 + 22.86	175.26 cm
4. Millimeters	175.26 x 10	1752.6 mm

5 ft 9 in = 175.26 cm. Check: 69 total inches x 2.54 = 175.26 cm.

Example 2: Convert 5.9 ft to CM

Step	Calculation	Result
1. Feet to cm	5.9 x 30.48	179.832 cm
2. Inches to cm	0 x 2.54	0.00 cm
3. Add them	179.832 + 0	179.832 cm
4. Round	To 2 decimals	179.83 cm
5. Millimeters	cm x 10	1798.3 mm

5.9 ft = 179.83 cm. This is not 5 ft 9 in: 5.9 ft is 5 ft 10.8 in.
