Yes.
Because they are smaller units of measurement.
Because it is more accurate
That depends whether the thing you're measuring is closer to 178 inches or 12 feet.However, if you round to the nearest measurement, a measurement of 178 inches can be within 2.54 centimetres of accuracy, while a measurement of 12 feet can be within 15.24 centimetres of accuracy - therefore making inches a much more accurate measurement.
The answer is 90.55 inches (approx.). Inches and centimeters are both units of linear measurement. Inches are used in the imperial system whereas centimeters are used in the metric system. To convert from cm to inches, multiply the cm unit by 0.393701.230 cm = 90.6 in (a little more than 7.5 feet)
What determines how precise a measurement is
Typically a measurement in centimeters will be more accurate. It really depends on the measuring device. But as centimeters is a smaller unit, fractions are more defined.
Because they are smaller units of measurement.
Because it is more accurate
Millimeters are smaller so if a measurement is given in mm it is likely to be more accurate than a measurement given in cm. However, it's important to note that neither mm nor cm is inherently more accurate.
Centimeters are more accurate then inches, so you're less likely to mess up the measurements.

Impossible to say. What you have is a measurement in whole centimeters. Those are bigger than tenths of centimeters. A less accurate measurement. And you can't make a more accurate measurement out of a less accurate one. The other way is fine though. Measured with tenths, anything between 6.6 - 7.4 cm could be written as 7 cm according to the laws of rounding.
Going into a smaller scale, such as to make Cm (Centimeters) more accurate, you go into Mm (Millimeters). There are smaller scales of everything, it is just about how accurate you want to make it.
Millimeters, centimeters, inches, feet, yards, meters, miles, kilometers...
In the US, doors are sold in inches. If you are measuring the door in order to bring in some furniture, any measurement of length - inches or centimeters - will work. It is in centimeters. That is more appropriate
