How the conversion works
A foot is 12 inches, and an inch is exactly 2.54 cm. So 4 ft 9 in is 4 × 12 + 9 = 57 inches, and 57 × 2.54 = 144.78 cm. Nothing is rounded: because the inch is defined as 2.54 cm, a height in whole or half inches always comes out in centimeters with two decimals at most.
Asked the other way round: How tall is 57 inches in feet? Rounded to the nearest centimeter: How tall is 145 cm in feet?
