How To Define a Centimeter (Cm)?

A centimeter is the length measurement unit widely accepted by the International System of Units (SI). We use centimeters for many of the daily measurements. For instance, when we have to determine the height of a person or when we have to measure the distance between two objects.

Generally, a centimeter in Canada is equivalent to the fingernail width of an adult. We can easily spot the measurements in centimeters if we see a ruler scale. Like real industry professionals, people who have to deal with area measurements frequently use centimeters as the length measurement unit.

How To Define an Inch (In)?

An inch (in) is the imperial and US Customary Systems of Measurement unit, typically used to measure length. Similar to the centimeter, inches can also be used to measure a person’s height. When an inch was accepted as a metric unit in 1959, it got its standard definition as a length measurement unit equal to 25.4 millimeters. The term ‘inch’ is derived from the Latin word ‘unica’. Moreover, some experts believe that the value of an inch has been taken from the width of a human thumb.

At present, an inch is also extensively used to represent the screen size of the display. For example, 42 Inch LCD television or smartphone with a display screen of 5 inches. Many countries, including the United States (US), United Kingdom (UK) and Canada, have accepted an inch as a length measurement unit for measuring the height of a person as well as to measure some other lengths.

Relationship Between Centimeters and Inches in Canada

The relationship between centimeters and inches can be easily determined with the help of the respective conversion factors. We come across the relationship between centimeters to inches when we have to convert a value given in centimeters and convert it from cm to inches.

To convert cm to inches without difficulty, we should understand the conversion factors, which are as follows:

1 Centimeter (cm) = 0.393701 Inches (in)
1 Inch = 2.54 cm

Here, one centimeter is equivalent to 0.393701 inches which is the conversion factor to convert centimeters to inches successfully. For instance, we can seamlessly convert 15 cm to inches by using the conversion factor 0.393701.

As a result, we will get 15 x 0.393701 = 5.905515 inches.

Conversely, one inch is equivalent to 2.54 centimeters, which is the conversion factor to convert inches to centimeters.

Comparison Between Centimeter (Cm) And Inches (In)

Centimeters and inches may look similar as both are the length measurement units. Nevertheless, they have diverse approaches, and we need to learn about them to understand cm-to-inch conversion. The table given below highlights the differences between centimeters and inches.

Illustrative Samples For Cm To Inches Conversions

We have learnt how to convert cm to inches with the help of the mathematical formula and the conversion factor. Now, let us simplify this conversion procedure with the help of five illustrative samples.

Sample 1: What would be the height of a person in inches who measures 175 centimeters?

We use the formula to get,
175 cm = (175 x 0.393701) = 68.897675 inches
Therefore, a height of a person would be 68.897675 inches if the person measures 175 centimeters.

Sample 2: Convert 168 cm to inches

Use the same formula, and we get,
168 x 0.393701 = 66.141768 inches
Thus, 168 cm is equal to 66.141768 in

Sample 3: Convert a person’s height from 190 centimeters to inches.

Similar to the above equations, we need to use the formula to get,
190 x 0.393701 = 74.803190 in
Hence, we can say that the height of a person who is 190 centimeters is 74.803190 inches.

Sample 4: What would be 220 cm into inches?

Here, 220 x 0.393701 = 86.614220 in
So, 220 cm is equivalent to 86.614220 inches.

Sample 5: Convert 365 cm to inches

Here, 365 x 0.393701 = 143.700865 in
Thus, 365 cm is 143.700865 inches.
