Okay, so I needed to figure out how tall I am in feet because, you know, sometimes you just need that info. I’m 1.74 meters, which is all well and good, but feet and inches are a whole different ballgame. So, I started digging.
First, I grabbed my phone and did a quick search . I mean, that’s what everyone does, right? The first thing that popped up showed me the basic conversion: 1.74 meters is about 5.71 feet.
But here’s the thing – 5.71 feet? That didn’t really make a whole lot of sense to me. I wanted it in feet and inches, you know, the way people usually talk about height. So, I remembered a little trick.

I took that decimal part, the 0.71, and multiplied it by 12. Why 12? Because there are 12 inches in a foot, obviously!
- I took the 0.71.
- I Multiplied 0.71 12 = 8.52.
So, the answer is 5 feet and around 8.5 inches, that is clear for me.
