How to convert Em to Point

$$\text{Length}_{\text{pt}} = \text{Length}_{\text{em}} \cdot 12$$

Examples

Example 1

Convert $30.0\ \text{em}$ to $\text{pt}$.

$$\text{Length}_{\text{pt}} = 30.0 \cdot 12$$

$$\text{Length}_{\text{pt}} = 360$$

$$\therefore \ 30.0\ \text{em} = 360 \ \text{pt}$$

Example 2

Convert $70.0\ \text{em}$ to $\text{pt}$.

$$\text{Length}_{\text{pt}} = 70.0 \cdot 12$$

$$\text{Length}_{\text{pt}} = 840$$

$$\therefore \ 70.0\ \text{em} = 840 \ \text{pt}$$

Example 3

Convert $100.0\ \text{em}$ to $\text{pt}$.

$$\text{Length}_{\text{pt}} = 100.0 \cdot 12$$

$$\text{Length}_{\text{pt}} = 1200$$

$$\therefore \ 100.0\ \text{em} = 1200 \ \text{pt}$$

Example 4

Convert $145.0\ \text{em}$ to $\text{pt}$.

$$\text{Length}_{\text{pt}} = 145.0 \cdot 12$$

$$\text{Length}_{\text{pt}} = 1740$$

$$\therefore \ 145.0\ \text{em} = 1740 \ \text{pt}$$

Example 5

Convert $160.0\ \text{em}$ to $\text{pt}$.

$$\text{Length}_{\text{pt}} = 160.0 \cdot 12$$
