5 feet 4 inches to cm

How to convert 5 feet 4 inches to cm

Turn the height into inches, then multiply by 2.54 — the inch is defined as exactly 2.54 centimeters:

5 ft × 12 + 4 in = 64 in, and 64 × 2.54 = 162.56 cm

The converter above starts at 5 ft 4 in and keeps the feet and inches in separate fields, so you can change either one. For other heights, use the full feet to cm converter; for the reverse, cm to feet and inches.

5’4” in meters, inches and rounded centimeters

• 162.56 cm — the exact value;
• 163 cm — what a metric form or a doctor’s chart usually records;

How tall is 5’4”?

Percentile: the share of adults shorter than this height. Source: CDC/NCHS — Anthropometric Reference Data for Children and Adults: United States, 2015–2018 (Vital Health Stat 3(46)), Tables 9 and 11, measured heights, all race and Hispanic-origin groups; values between published percentiles are interpolated.

In plain words: fewer than 5% of U.S. men are shorter, and about 57% of U.S. women are shorter. The median adult man in the U.S. is 175.4 cm (about 5’9”) and the median woman 161.3 cm (about 5’3.5”). Height says nothing about health on its own; for growth questions about children, ask a pediatrician, since this table covers adults only.
