I hope. there are ten mm in a cm 456cm == 4560mm there are 24.5 mm per inch (it is the law). 4550mm / 25.4 = 179.527 inches or about 14.9 feet which is about 5 yards which is 20% of a 'murican football field if that helps

The above comment was pointing out that each 1 centimeter is slightly less than 0.4 inches. If you want to be more precise, each centimeter is about 0.3937 inches.

Your correction to my perception of what you intended 0.4 inches to represent is accepted.
