To convert a height of 184 centimeters (cm) to feet and inches, we use the conversion factor where 1 inch equals 2.54 cm.
Here's the step-by-step conversion:
-
Convert 184 cm to inches:
- 184 cm / 2.54 cm/inch = 72.44 inches
-
Convert the inches to feet and inches:
- Since 1 foot equals 12 inches, divide the total inches by 12:
- 72.44 inches / 12 = 6.037 feet
- The remainder, or the inches part, is calculated as follows:
- 0.037 feet * 12 inches/foot = 0.44 inches
- Since 1 foot equals 12 inches, divide the total inches by 12:
Rounding to the nearest whole number for practical purposes, we can approximate:
- 6 feet 0 inches (for simplicity, but not entirely accurate)
- More accurately: 6 feet 0.44 inches
To make it more understandable, we often round this to the nearest inch, which would be approximately 6 feet 1 inch, recognizing that the actual measurement is closer to 6 feet 0 inches but slightly more.
So, 184 cm is approximately equal to 6 feet 0 inches, but more conventionally understood as about 6 feet 1 inch when rounded to a more understandable measurement for everyday use.
