Where this comes up
This is the height conversion: Aadhaar, medical reports and most Indian forms record height in centimetres, while matrimonial profiles, sports and everyday speech use feet and inches. The page gives both the decimal feet and the feet-and-inches reading, so 170 cm shows as 5.58 ft and 5 ft 7 in. Divide by 30.48 for feet; the remainder × 12 is the inches.
