Formula Used

The conversion from feet to meters is calculated using the following formula:

Meters = Feet × 0.3048

This formula accounts for the exact length of one foot in meters, which is 0.3048 meters.

For more precise measurements, you can also convert inches to meters by first converting inches to feet (12 inches = 1 foot) and then applying the same formula.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Converting 10 feet to meters

Using the formula: Meters = 10 × 0.3048 = 3.048 meters

So, 10 feet is equal to approximately 3.048 meters.

Example 2: Converting 5 feet 6 inches to meters

First convert inches to feet: 6 inches = 0.5 feet

Total feet = 5 + 0.5 = 5.5 feet

Now convert to meters: 5.5 × 0.3048 = 1.6764 meters

So, 5 feet 6 inches is equal to approximately 1.6764 meters.
