5'7" is very close to 1.7m or 170cm. (The average height for men is about 5'8" and for women 5'6" so that's about average for people.) Add or take away 2.5cm from 1.7m for every inch above or below 5'7". That's a rule of thumb you can carry around in your head, but there are plenty of online conversion machines, such as worldwidemetric dot com slash metca dot .htm if you want something more exact.
Boy, some people put fingers to keyboard without putting brain in gear, don't they?
3 feet DO NOT = 1 metre.
(3 feet = 1 yard)
The exact conversion is
1 inch = 2.54cm
(It may come as a surprise to US Americans, but metric is the international standard, and Imperial measure - or whatever Americans call it - is derived from that - the inch is defined in centimetres)
so
5' 7" (5 feet 7 inches) = 5x12 + 7 = 67 inches
67 x 2.54 = 170.18 cm exactly.
But my rule of thumb, given above, is good enough for human heights, which vary by more than that during the course of a day.
5'7" is exactly 170.18 cms while 5ft 9 inch is quite likely 175.26 cms.

but I dunno how to read my height like that...
