One centimetre equals 0.3937 inches. The conversion formula is:
Inches = cm × 0.3937
Or divide by 2.54 (since 1 inch = exactly 2.54 cm).
- 170 cm ÷ 2.54 = 66.93 inches (5 ft 6.93 in)
- 55 cm = 21.65 inches (TV screen diagonal)
- 30 cm × 0.3937 = 11.81 inches
Malta uses the metric system as an EU member. Inches appear for TV and monitor screen sizes, tyre profiles, and goods imported from the UK. As a former British colony until 1964, Malta has strong British cultural ties and English is an official language alongside Maltese.
Malta joined the EU in 2004 and fully adopted metric. However, the British heritage means many Maltese people are comfortable with both systems. Screen sizes are universally quoted in inches. A 55-inch TV is 139.7 cm diagonal.
