The short answer: 134 centimeters comes to 4 ft 4.8 in. That is 134 multiplied by 0.03280839895, the factor fixed by definition, carried to full precision before anything is rounded for display.
At 134 cm — 1.34 m — a BMI of 18.5 to 25, the band the WHO calls healthy, runs from 33.2 to 44.9 kg (73.2 to 99 lb). BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared, so those figures come straight from the height on this page rather than from a chart.
