To convert inches (in) to centimeters (cm), you can use the following conversion factor:

1 inch (in) = 2.54 centimeters (cm)

So, to convert a length from inches to centimeters, you multiply the length in inches by 2.54.

Here’s the conversion formula:

Length in centimeters (cm) = Length in inches (in) × 2.54

For example, let’s say you have a length of 5 inches and want to convert it to centimeters:

Length in centimeters (cm) = 5 inches × 2.54 = 12.7 centimeters

So, 5 inches is equal to 12.7 centimeters.

You can use this formula to convert any length from inches to centimeters by multiplying it by 2.54.
