Converting feet (ft) to meters (m) is essential when you work with US customary dimensions—room sizes, property listings, or sports fields—and need metric equivalents for international projects or scientific work. The international foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters, so meters = feet × 0.3048.
m = ft × 0.3048
Multiply the length in feet by 0.3048 to get meters. This factor is exact under the international foot definition adopted in 1959.
| foot | meter |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.3048 |
| 2 | 0.6096 |
| 5 | 1.524 |
| 10 | 3.048 |
| 25 | 7.62 |
| 50 | 15.24 |
| 100 | 30.48 |
