Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet to decimeters is 3.048, which means that 1 foot is equal to 3.048 decimeters:

1 ft = 3.048 dm

To convert 172 feet into decimeters we have to multiply 172 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from feet to decimeters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft → 3.048 dm

172 ft → L_(dm)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in decimeters:

L_(dm) = 172 ft × 3.048 dm

L_(dm) = 524.256 dm

The final result is:

172 ft → 524.256 dm

We conclude that 172 feet is equivalent to 524.256 decimeters:
