Good to know
Height in meters: 170 cm = 1.70 m, 180 cm = 1.80 m. BMI formulas use height in meters squared, so 175 cm becomes 1.75 m and 1.75² = 3.0625.
Rooms and furniture: a 320 cm by 410 cm room is 3.2 m × 4.1 m = 13.12 m². A 90 cm door is 0.9 m wide.
Other directions: multiply by 100 for meters to cm, divide cm by 2.54 for inches, or see every unit on the length converter.
