The Inch (in) is commonly used in the United States and other countries for measuring small to medium objects. For example, a smartphone screen is around 6 inches, a standard ruler is 12 inches, and a doorway height is about 80 inches. It's widely used in carpentry, display sizes, and construction. The Centimeter (cm) is ideal for smaller measurements like the width of a smartphone (7-10 cm), the height of a coffee mug (10-12 cm), or the length of a pencil (15-20 cm). It's also used in crafts and construction.
To convert between Inch (in) and Centimeter (cm), use the following formulas:
1 Inch (in) = 2.54 Centimeter (cm)
1 Centimeter (cm) = 0.3937007874015748 Inch (in)
1 in = 1 * 2.54 cm = 2.54 cm
2 in = 2 * 2.54 cm = 5.08 cm
5 in = 5 * 2.54 cm = 12.7 cm
10 in = 10 * 2.54 cm = 25.4 cm
20 in = 20 * 2.54 cm = 50.8 cm
50 in = 50 * 2.54 cm = 127 cm
100 in = 100 * 2.54 cm = 254 cm
