cm = (feet x 12 + inches) x 2.54
As a height, 170.2 cm is 5.1 cm shorter than the average US adult man (≈175.3 cm) and 8.9 cm taller than the average US adult woman (≈161.3 cm), based on CDC NHANES 2015–2018 averages.
Height forms in the US and UK usually want whole feet plus inches, rounded to the nearest inch — use the rounded value above for those.

5′7″ = 170.18 cm (about 170 cm (1.702 m)).
Convert to inches: 5 × 12 + 7 = 67 in. Multiply by 2.54: 67 × 2.54 = 170.18 cm. Result: 5′7″ = 170.18 cm, or 1.7018 m.
