The correct answer is: $5.905511811\text{ ft}$

Explanation

You convert centimeters to feet using $1\text{ ft}=30.48\text{ cm}$.

Steps:

  1. Write the conversion: $$\text{feet}=\frac{180\text{ cm}}{30.48\text{ cm/ft}}$$
  2. Calculate the value: $$\text{feet}=\frac{180}{30.48}\approx5.90551181102362\text{ ft}$$
  3. Convert the fractional foot to inches: $$0.90551181102362\times12\approx10.8661417322834\text{ in}$$
  4. Express as feet and inches: $$180\text{ cm}\approx5\text{ ft }10.87\text{ in (approximately)}$$

Therefore, 180 cm is about $5.9055\text{ ft}$, which is roughly 5 ft 10.9 in (or about 5 ft 11 in rounded to the nearest inch).
