How inches and centimetres are converted
An international inch is exactly 2.54 centimetres. Multiply inches by 2.54 to obtain centimetres; divide centimetres by 2.54 to obtain inches. One international foot is 12 inches or exactly 30.48 centimetres.
For example, 12 inches equals 30.48 cm. A height of 5 feet 9 inches is 175.26 cm. The decimal feet result represents a numerical equivalent, not feet-and-inches notation. A TV's diagonal size alone does not determine its width.
