Best Answer

The survey foot was maintained in the US to ensure consistency with historical surveying data and to avoid disruptions in property boundaries, especially in areas where precise measurements are crucial, such as land surveys. It is also used in order to comply with legal standards and regulations that are based on the survey foot unit of measurement.

160 cm equals how many ft?

5.249 feet or 5.249333333333 US survey feet or 5.249343832 international feet more precisely The reason being that the conversion for US survey feet is: 1 meter = 39.37 inches or 3.2808333333 ft and for the international foot is: 1 foot = 304.8 mm exactly. So for shorter distances such as 160 cm the difference is negligible, dependent upon precision, but for longer lengths the error can become substatial.
