Examples

1

Consider that a high-end smartphone has a screen size of 15 centimeters.
Convert this screen size from centimeters to Inches.

Answer:

Given:

The length in centimeters is:

Length_{(Centimeters)} = 15

Formula:

The formula to convert length from centimeters to inches is:

Length_(Inches) = Length_{(Centimeters)} / 2.54

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Centimeters)} = 15 in the above formula.

Length_(Inches) = 15 / 2.54

Length_(Inches) = 5.9055

Final Answer:

Therefore, 15 cm is equal to 5.9055 in.

The length is 5.9055 in, in inches.

2

Consider that a luxury handbag measures 30 centimeters in width.
Convert this width from centimeters to Inches.

Answer:

Given:

The length in centimeters is:

Length_{(Centimeters)} = 30

Formula:

The formula to convert length from centimeters to inches is:

Length_(Inches) = Length_{(Centimeters)} / 2.54

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length_{(Centimeters)} = 30 in the above formula.

Length_(Inches) = 30 / 2.54

Length_(Inches) = 11.811

Final Answer:

Therefore, 30 cm is equal to 11.811 in.

The length is 11.811 in, in inches.

Centimeters

A centimeter (cm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One centimeter is equivalent to 0.01 meters or approximately 0.3937 inches.

The centimeter is defined as one-hundredth of a meter, making it a convenient measurement for smaller lengths.

Centimeters are used worldwide to measure length and distance in various fields, including science, engineering, and everyday life. They are commonly used in everyday measurements, such as height, width, and depth of objects, as well as in educational settings.

Inches

An inch (symbol: in) is a unit of length used mainly in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. One inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters.

The inch has origins in ancient times, originally based on the width of a human thumb. Its current definition, established in 1959, is exactly 2.54 centimeters.

Inches are commonly used to measure smaller lengths and distances, such as screen sizes and fabric lengths. Despite the widespread adoption of the metric system, the inch remains in use in these countries.
