Here's how to convert 280 cm to feet and inches:

1. Convert centimeters to inches:

* There are 2.54 centimeters in one inch.

* 280 cm / 2.54 cm/inch = 110.24 inches

2. Separate into feet and inches:

* There are 12 inches in one foot.

* 110.24 inches / 12 inches/foot = 9.19 feet

* This means there are 9 whole feet.

* To find the remaining inches, subtract the feet from the total inches: 110.24 inches - (9 feet * 12 inches/foot) = 2.24 inches

Therefore, 280 cm is equal to 9 feet and 2.24 inches.
