When you want to figure out how many inches are in someone’s height, you just need, you guessed it, a math formula! Remember, here at Boredomzone, math formulas don’t equal boring, they equal fun and math that works.

Here we go!

First we must figure out how many inches are in one foot. In the United States, we use feet and inches when it comes to height which is different from Europe and other areas outside of the USA which often use the metric system.

Now you’ll want to know how many inches are in a foot.

Now we know 1 foot of measurement is equal to 12 inches. This will help us in our formula for deciding how many inches are in any given height.

What is the formula to figure out how many inches are in any height?

First you will look at the number of feet in the height. You need to convert the feet to inches. If the number is 5 feet, then you can figure out the number of inches.

Since there are 12 inches in one foot, you can find out the number of inches in 5 feet by multiplying the number of feet by 12 inches.

5 X 12 = 60″ or 60 inches

Now on to the next step. Most of the time heights have beyond just feet they have additional inches. Let’s look at an example.

How many inches are in 5 feet 10 inches?

From above we found that there are 60 inches in 5 feet. Now we just have to add on the additional 10 inches in the height given above.

60 + 10 = 70 inches

Now we know that 5 feet 10 inches is the same as 70 inches. Let’s try another.

How Tall is 5 Foot 10 Compared to 6 Feet?

Here we can use our formula again.

We know that 5 Foot 10 inches is the same as 70 inches. Now we need to know how many inches 6 feet are equal to. There are 12 inches in one foot as a reminder.

6 X 12 = 72 inches

Now we know someone who is 6 feet tall is also 72″ tall. Someone who is 5 Foot 10 inches is really 70″ tall. To answer the question the difference is 2 inches (72 inches – 70 inches).

How Many Inches are in 13 Feet?

Here is a new question. We go back to our formula, 12 inches X the number of feet equal the total number of inches.

12 X 13 = 156 inches

Now we know there are 156 inches in 13 feet.
