What is 5'10" in centimeters?

[Aatish]

I'm trying to convert a height of 5 feet 10 inches into centimeters. Can someone tell me the exact value?

5 feet 10 inches is equal to 177.8 centimeters.
To convert:

• 1 foot = 30.48 cm
• 1 inch = 2.54 cm
  So, (5 × 30.48) + (10 × 2.54) = 152.4 + 25.4 = 177.8 cm.

5′10" is equal to 177.8 centimeters.

This is calculated by:

1. Converting 5 feet to centimeters (5 ft×30.48 cm/ft=152.4 cm).
2. Converting 10 inches to centimeters (10 in×2.54 cm/in=25.4 cm).
3. Adding the two results together (152.4 cm+25.4 cm=177.8 cm).

To convert 5'10" to centimeters, first change the height to inches. Five feet equals 60 inches, then add the extra 10 inches, totaling 70 inches. Multiply 70 × 2.54, since one inch equals 2.54 cm. The result is 177.8 cm, which is usually rounded to 178 cm.
