How to convert feet to inches
Feet and inches are the paired units of the imperial length system, with 12 inches making exactly 1 foot. This relationship is exact — no rounding is needed. Height, lumber, and construction dimensions in the US are almost always expressed in feet and inches together (e.g., 5 ft 10 in).
Convert feet to inches by multiplying by 12. Formula: inches = feet × 12. A 6-foot person is 6 × 12 = 72 inches tall. A 2×4 lumber board is 2 inches by 4 inches in cross-section but sold in lengths like 8 feet (96 inches).
Real estate floor plans, basketball hoop heights (10 feet = 120 inches), and screen size comparisons all use this conversion. When adding feet and inches, convert everything to inches first, sum, then divide by 12 for the foot portion.
Key values: 1 ft = 12 in, 5 ft = 60 in, 6 ft = 72 in, 10 ft = 120 in. A yard equals 36 inches or 3 feet.
