Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

How do I write my height in feet and inches?

To write your height in feet and inches, use the format 'X feet Y inches' or 'X'Y"'. For example, 5 feet 7 inches can be written as 5'7".

What symbols should I use for feet and inches?

What's the difference between 5'7" and 5 ft 7 in?

Both formats are correct. 5'7" uses symbols and is more compact, while '5 ft 7 in' or '5 feet 7 inches' is the written-out form. The symbolic version is standard for most documents.

Should I use a hyphen when writing heights?

Use a hyphen when height is used as a compound adjective before a noun (e.g., 'a 6-foot-tall man'), but not when stating height alone (e.g., 'He is 6 feet tall').

How do I write height in formal documents?
