How tall is five foot nine in meters or centimeters?

I never know what it means. For example: I know that five foot means 5 feet, which is the same as 152 centimeters. But what does the "nine" in five foot nine mean? How can I convert it?

5 foot nine = 5 feet and 9 inches

5 feet = 152.4cm or 1.524m
9 inches = 22.86cm or 0.2286m

So 5 foot 9 = 175.26cm or 1.7526m

the "nine" means nine inches which is 75% of one foot. If it helps, 1 meter is equal to 39 inches (3 feet 3 inches)

The "nine" in 5 foot nine means nine inches. I guess it's kind of assumed here in the US - we leave off the "inches" part a lot.

5 feet 9 inches = 60 inches + 9 inches = 69 inches

(69 inches)( 2.54 cm/inch) = 175.26 cm = 1.7526 m

Five foot 9 inches

5 ft and 9 in.=69 inches=1.75260 meters
69 inches= 175.26 cm

This makes sense since 1.7526 x 100= 175.26(100cm=1m)
