Keep the intended precision
The tool uses 1 inch = 2.54 cm exactly and displays inches to one decimal place. A rounded spoken height such as “5′7″” is not identical to an exact measurement. It converts units only; it does not assess growth, medical measurements, or the measurement standard required by a form or device.
