Height, depending on the measure, can be written in centimetres (cm), feet, and inches. Convert 165, 170, 175, 178 cm to feet and vice versa. Height may vary according to gender, age, or individual growth disposition. Additionally, the height may result from the place of birth or diet.
It should be added that the converter converts centimetres to feet and inches rounded down. Thus, the value in feet and inches can be a maximum of about 2.53 cm lower (1 inch). Therefore, it is also worth checking the value of the increase by converting feet and inches to centimetres.
If you are interested in a different range of values, use the centimetres to feet and inches converter or the inverse conversion used to convert feet and inches to centimetres.
