Before you rely on it
5.58 feet is not 5 ft 8 in
This page gives decimal feet. The part after the point is a fraction of a foot, and a foot has 12 inches, not 10 — so 170 cm, about 5.58 ft, is 5 ft 7 in, not 5 ft 8 in.
To turn decimal feet into feet and inches, multiply the part after the point by 12. 0.58 × 12 ≈ 6.9, so 170 cm is about 5 ft 6.9 in, which rounds to 5 ft 7 in.
The factor itself does not end: 1 foot is exactly 30.48 cm, but 1 cm is 1/30.48 of a foot, a repeating decimal. The answers here are rounded; the reverse page, feet to centimeters, is exact.
Height forms in the US ask for feet and inches separately. The FAQs below give common heights in that form, rounded to the nearest inch.
