The correct answer is: $165\text{ cm}=5.4133858\text{ ft}\approx5\text{ ft }4.96\text{ in}\approx5\text{ ft }5\text{ in}$

Explanation

We convert centimeters to inches using $1\text{ in}=2.54\text{ cm}$, then convert inches to feet using $1\text{ ft}=12\text{ in}$.

Steps:

  1. Convert to inches: $$\text{inches}=\frac{165}{2.54}=64.96062992\text{ in}$$
  2. Convert to feet (decimal): $$\text{feet}=\frac{64.96062992}{12}=5.413385826\text{ ft}$$
  3. Convert the fractional foot to inches: $$0.413385826\times12=4.960629912\text{ in}\approx4.96\text{ in}\ (\approx5\text{ in rounded})$$

Therefore, 165 cm is about 5 ft 4.96 in, commonly rounded to 5 ft 5 in.
