210 centimeters is 6 ft 10.7 in. The exact arithmetic is 210 × 0.03280839895 = 6.88976377953 feet, using the defined factor rather than a rounded one, so this matches what a calibrated instrument would give you.
At 210 cm — 2.1 m — a BMI of 18.5 to 25, the band the WHO calls healthy, runs from 81.6 to 110 kg (180 to 243 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.
Plenty of people do this in their head: divide by 30 instead of using the exact factor 0.03280839895. At 210 that shortcut gives 7 feet, off by 0.1102 feet or about 1.60%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
