Hi @vincenzo,

why not just google for length conversion factors and use one of the googol found results ? 🙂

ie:

> **[Conversion Factors - Length, Area, Volume, Mass, Speed, Force, Energy, Power](https://www.math10.com/en/algebra/convenrsion-factors-length-area-volume-mass-speed-energy-power-force.html)**
>
> Conversion factors - length, area, volume, mass, speed, force, energy, power.

The rest is a simple rule of three …

Cheers

I have tried this tool to convert from Centimeters To Feet [https://www.calculatorful.com/centimeters-to-feet](https://www.calculatorful.com/centimeters-to-feet) , it gives really accurate results. It’s easier to convert from [Centimeters To Feet](https://www.calculatorful.com/centimeters-to-feet), it saves me a lot of time  
You can try it.Good luck!

As you can see, centimeters and feet were born in different time frames so the conversion between them is a bit odd. There are approximately 30.48 centimeters in one feet.  
For this conversion we know that 1 foot is equal to 30.48 centimeters. Therefore, to convert from feet to centimeters, you can multiply the value in feet with 30.48 and get the result in centimeters  
Example: 7feet = 7x30.48 = 213.36cm.  
Applying the formula to calculate is quite simple, but it requires you to use the calculator to press the calculation, it takes your time. 🙂  
I usually use this online converter [Feet To Centimeters](https://www.calculatorful.com/feet-to-centimeters) for calculations. You just need to enter the number to convert , and you immediately get the result.  
Also if you need reverse conversion [Centimeters To Feet](https://www.calculatorful.com/centimeters-to-feet), they are all pre-built and the results are very accurate
