5 foot 7 in cm
5′7″ = 170.2 cm = 1.702 m = 67 inches
Working: (5 × 12 + 7) × 2.54 = 170.18
5 feet 7 inches is 170.2 centimetres, or 1.702 metres.
Convert in two steps. Turn the height into inches first — 5 × 12 = 60, plus 7 gives 67 inches. Then multiply by 2.54, since one inch is defined as exactly 2.54 cm: 67 × 2.54 = 170.18 cm.
Unlike the reverse conversion, this direction is exact: feet and inches are whole numbers and the factor is exact, so 5′7″ is precisely 170.18 cm with no rounding involved. Rounded for a form that wants whole centimetres, it is 170 cm.
Five foot seven is 170.18 cm, a rounding error away from a flat 170. That coincidence is genuinely useful: it is one of the few points where both numbers can be held in mind without qualification, and it is why 170 cm and 5′7″ are treated as interchangeable on forms and profiles.
