Examples

1

Consider that a font size is set to 12 points in a document.
Convert this size from points to Centimeters.

Answer:

Given:

The length in point is:

Length(Point) = 12

Formula:

The formula to convert length from point to centimeters is:

Length(Centimeters) = Length(Point) / 28.346456693

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Point) = 12 in the above formula.

Length(Centimeters) = 12 / 28.346456693

Length(Centimeters) = 0.4233

Convert this size from points to Centimeters.

Answer:

Given:

The length in point is:

Length(Point) = 24

Formula:

The formula to convert length from point to centimeters is:

Length(Centimeters) = Length(Point) / 28.346456693

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Length(Point) = 24 in the above formula.

Length(Centimeters) = 24 / 28.346456693

Length(Centimeters) = 0.8467

Final Answer:

Therefore, 24 point is equal to 0.8467 cm.

The length is 0.8467 cm, in centimeters.
