Centimeters (cm): a metric length unit equal to one hundredth of a meter, common for everyday dimensions and smaller measurements.

Feet (ft): an imperial length unit fixed at exactly 0.3048 meters, common in construction, height reporting, and land measurement.

This route is useful when translating length values across metric, imperial, and nautical conventions so drawings, travel distances, and engineering references stay comparable.

This conversion is purely multiplicative because both units reduce through meters using fixed length definitions with no offset.
