Foot (abbreviation: ft): (plural feet) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. Since 1959, both units have been accepted equivalent to exactly 0.3048 meters by international agreement.
Centimeter (abbreviation: cm): is a unit of length in the SI metric system, equal to one hundredth of a metre, centi being the prefix for a factor of 1/100. The centimetre was the base unit of length in the now deprecated centimetre–gram–second (CGS) system of units.
How to Convert Feet to Centimeters
Example: How many centimeters are equivalent to 39.71 feet?
As;
1 feet = 30.48 centimeters
39.71 feet = Y centimeters
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 39.71 times 30.48 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 39.71 * 30.48 / 1 = 1210.3608 centimeters
Answer is: 1210.3608 centimeters are equivalent to 39.71 feet.
