Converting meters (m) to feet (ft) bridges metric and US customary length when you read room dimensions, sports field specs, or building plans in meters but need feet. Since 1959, the international foot has been defined as exactly 0.3048 meters, so feet = meters ÷ 0.3048—about 3.28084 feet per meter.
ft = m ÷ 0.3048
Divide the length in meters by 0.3048 to get feet. This factor comes from the exact definition of the international foot in meters and is the standard for construction and everyday conversion.
