To get a ballpark answer: 5.74 feet is roughly 5 3/4 feet. There are twelve inches in a foot, and 3/4 of a foot is nine inches. So, your height of 175 cm is 5 feet 9 inches. Strictly speaking, **just** under five-nine. If someone asks how tall you are in feet and inches, five-nine is close enough.
Exact answer: .74 of a foot * 12 inches to a foot = 8.88 inches, so your height is 5 feet and 8.88 inches.

175 cm = 68.90 in = 5.74 ft = 5 ft 9 inches
how to get 9 inches: 5.74 = 5 ft + 0.74 ft
conversion of 0.74 ft into inches = 0.74 * 12 = 8.89 in rounded to 9 in

It's 5.74 feet. Since a foot is 12 inches, .74 feet is
12*.74 = 8.9 inches.
So you are 5' 8.9" (as we would write it) or 5 feet an 8.9 inches.
