Hi all of you

  • 1 foot = 30,48 centimeters.

  • 1 inch is = 2,54 centimeters.

Now, if you say: ‘that man was about six feet tall’ Is that approximately 1m82?

If you say: ‘he was five foot two’ is that approximately 1m57.

‘The seven dwarfs were three feet ten’ is that approximately 1m16.

Thanks.

You can convert between imperial and decimal measures here:

In English, a comma would not be used to separate the decimal from the whole number.

30.48
2.54
etc.
