Arcane Season 2 Height Fact-Check: What 172 Centimeters Means for Your Favorite Characters
By David Miller
A standard centimeters to feet conversion starts with a single immutable constant: one inch equals exactly 2.54 centimeters. Dividing 172 by 2.54 yields 67.7165 inches. Because imperial height uses base-12 feet rather than decimals, that total must be split into feet and remaining inches.
Sixty inches make up five feet. Subtracting 60 from 67.7165 leaves 7.7165 inches. Written formally, 172 cm translates to 5 feet 7.7 inches (5'7.7").
A common mistake occurs when digital users run a metric to imperial height formula and receive 5.643 feet. Casual observers misread the decimal, assuming .64 represents inches, which leads to the erroneous claim that 172 cm is "5 foot 6." In reality, 0.643 of a twelve-inch foot equals roughly 7.7 inches. When using an automated height conversion calculator, the system almost always rounds 5'7.7" up to the nearest whole integer: 5 foot 8.
