Centimetres and Feet are two staple mathematical units that are used in our daily life for measuring. It is essential to ensure that whatever you measure in your daily routine is done accurately. All the rulers come with cm measurements, so if you want to measure anything like a notebook, bottle or even a pencil, you can easily do that with the help of a ruler. However, before proceeding further, it is vital to know the definition of CM and Feet and how to convert 1 CM to Feet. Read on till the end to learn why these are some of the most critical units of measurement.

Centimeters (CM) Definition

The centimetre is a unit we use to measure the length of an object. Imagine it like this: if you put 100 centimetres together, you get one metre. And if you’re talking about something really small, 1 centimetre is the same as 10 millimetres. The abbreviation for centimetres is ‘cm’.

To find out how much space something occupies on a surface, we use square centimetres (cm²). When we want to know how much we can fit inside something, we use cubic centimetres (cm³). It’s like stacking little cubes to measure volume.

Current Use of Centimeter

Other than measuring an object’s overall length or distance, the centimetre is also used to measure rainfall through a rain gauge. It also plays a significant role in doing mathematical calculations. Apart from this, a few examples where centimetres are used to measure the length of an object are: 

  • Beads are measured in either inches or centimetres.
  • Fish are measured in centimetres. However, in many places, they are also measured in inches. 
  • A person’s height can be measured in Centimetre.
  • The size of the dog is measured in centimetres.
  • Paper is measured in centimetres.

History of Centimeter

The word “Centimeter” is derived from and is a mixture of the French word “Mètre” and the Latin word “Centum’. It is a part of the first metric system that was established in 1799 during the French Revolution. Since the old measurement system became impractical for trading, a new metric system was introduced to replace it. That is when the meter came into existence, followed by a centimeter. Except for the USA, a centimeter is spelt as ‘centimetre’ in countries across the globe.  

Feet (ft) Definition

In the United States, a foot determines length or distance. While “feet” is the plural form of the unit of measurement, “foot” signifies a single unit. The foot or feet is represented by the symbol ‘ft’. One foot, for instance, might be represented as 1 foot or as 1.

History of Feet

The foot has been used as a measurement unit in various local systems, including the English, Roman, Greek and Chinese. However, it varied in value from country to city or city. It was only in 1959 that a foot was defined exactly as 0.3048 meters under the International Yard and Pound Agreement.

Current Use of Feet

Feet that are generally used for measuring height, altitude and elevation. In the UK and the USA, people also measure their height and describe it in feet, such as “I am 6 feet tall”. Even the road signs in both these nations are in feet and inches.

Relationship between Centimeters and Feet

Feet and centimeter are two distinct measurement units. They are used for completely different purposes but also share a relationship with one another. Understanding this relationship is a tad bit complex, especially when you are dealing with these measurement units for the first time. So, to make things easier, we’ve listed their relationship below:

1 foot = 30.48 centimeters

1 centimeter = 0.0328084 feet 

Keeping these values in mind will help you convert cm to feet easily. 

Difference Between Centimeters to Feet

Now that you have an idea about the relationship between centimeters and feet, let’s discuss their differences. They are both used as length measurement units but have some major differences. A few of them are as follows:

Basis of Differentiation  Centimeters Feet
Definition A Centimeter is a length measurement unit in the metric system, which is 1/100th of a Meter. It is written as Centimetre in British English.  The foot is also a length measurement unit used in both U.S. customary measurement and in the British Imperial system where it represents 1/3rd of a yard and is subdivided into 12 inches.
Abbreviation cm ft
Use Other than measuring length and distance, a centimeter is also used as a measurement unit for rainfall in some regions.  A foot or feet are basically used for the measurement of altitude, height and elevation. 
Value 1 Centimeter = 0.0328084 feet  1 foot = 30.48 centimeters

The formula for converting cm to feet is feet = cm ÷ 30.48

This means, if you wish to derive the value of a particular figure in feet, you will have to divide the centimeter figure by 30.48 to get a result. 

We have solved a few centimeters to feet conversion problems below. Take a look at these and then try and use the formula on your own. There are approximately 0.0328 feet in one centimeter. Therefore, to convert centimeters to feet, you can divide the number of centimeters by 30.48 (which is the number of centimeters in a foot). For example, 100 centimeters is equal to 100/30.48 = 3.2808 feet

Example 1: Convert 5 cm to feet

Sol.- If you want to convert 5 cm to ft, see the calculation below.-

= 5 * 0.0328

= 0.1640.328 ft.

Example 2: Convert 10 cm to feet

Sol.- By using the above calculation to convert 10 cm to ft –

= 10 * 0.0328

=  16.0934 ft.

Example 3: Convert 20 cm to feet

Sol.- Convert 20 cm to ft –

= 20 * 0.0328

= 0.656 ft

Example 4: Convert 50 cm to ft

Sol.- Convert 50 cm to ft –

= 50 * 0.0328

= 1.64 ft

Example 5: Convert 100 cm to ft

Sol.- Convert 100 cm to ft –

= 100 * 0.0328

=  3.28 ft.
