I'm on this side of the pond, but here is what has been taught to me:
184 cm x 0.393700787 = 72.440944808 in = 6.04 ft

I admit that I looked it up on Google for a more accurate number, but
I was always taught that 1 in = ~2.5 cm (by every last math teacher
I've ever had), which is close since Google tells me it's around 2.54
cm.

Care to tell us what the doubt is?
