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.
