How to Convert Centimeters to Feet
To convert centimeters to feet, we use a special formula. There are 30.48 centimeters in 1 foot. So, to convert 120 cm to feet, we can use this equation:
$$
\text{Feet} = \frac{\text{Centimeters}}{30.48}
$$
Now, if we plug in our number:
$$
\text{Feet} = \frac{120\, \text{cm}}{30.48} \approx 3.937\, \text{feet}
