The short answer: 211 centimeters comes to 6 ft 11.1 in. That is 211 multiplied by 0.03280839895, the factor fixed by definition, carried to full precision before anything is rounded for display.
At 211 cm — 2.11 m — a BMI of 18.5 to 25, the band the WHO calls healthy, runs from 82.4 to 111 kg (182 to 245 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 211 that shortcut gives 7.0333333 feet, off by 0.1108 feet or about 1.60%. Fine for a rough estimate, not fine for anything you are cutting to size or dosing.
