170 centimeters is equal to 5.5774 feet.

To convert centimeters to feet, you divide the number of centimeters by 30.48 (since 1 foot = 30.48 cm).

Yes, 170 cm (approximately 5.58 feet) is considered an average to slightly above-average height for adults in many parts of the world.

The conversion is not a whole number because the centimeter and the foot are different units of length, and one does not divide perfectly into the other.
