How the conversion works
A foot is 12 inches, and an inch is exactly 2.54 cm. So 5 ft 10 in is 5 × 12 + 10 = 70 inches, and 70 × 2.54 = 177.8 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 70 inches in feet? Rounded to the nearest centimeter: How tall is 178 cm in feet?
