Formula to convert Meters to Feet (m to ft) and Feet to Meters (ft to m)

Additional Information Icon

How many Meter per Feet (m to ft) ?

The formula to convert feet to meters is:

1 ft = 0.3048 * m

For example, to convert 10 feet to meters, you would use the following formula:

meters = 10 feet * 0.3048 = 3.048 meters

How many Feet per Meter (ft to m) ?

The formula to convert meters to feet is:

1 m = 3.28084 * ft

To convert 2 meters to feet, you would use the following formula:

feet = 2 meters * 3.28084 = 6.56168 feet


  • The standard unit for measurement of length is meter as per International system of units (SI units)

  • Meter is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum during a trime interval of 1/299,792,458 of a secon.

  • The metric system for measuring length as per the United Status Customary Units (USCS) is feet.

Converting Between Feet and Meter

Converting Icon
  • The meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), while the foot is a unit of length in the imperial system.

  • The SI system is the most widely used system of measurement in the world, so it is important to be able to convert between SI and imperial units.
  • There are 3.28084 feet in one meter. This means that the meter is about three times longer than the foot.

  • A good way to estimate the length of something in meters is to divide the length in feet by 3. For example, if something is 6 feet long, you can estimate that it is about 2 meters long.
  • The unit of measurement "foot" has been used for thousands of years. It is based on the length of a human foot, and it is one of the oldest units of measurement in history. The first known standard foot measure was from Sumer, where a definition is given in a statue of Gudea of Lagash from around 2575 BC.
  • The foot was adopted by many different cultures over the centuries, and it eventually became the standard unit of length in the imperial system of measurement. The imperial system was developed in England during the Middle Ages, and it was used throughout the British Empire for centuries.
  • Today, the foot is still used in some countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom. However, it is not as widely used as it once was, and it is gradually being replaced by the meter in many applications.
  • The meter is a newer unit of measurement than the foot. It was developed in France during the French Revolution, and it was intended to be a universal unit of measurement that could be used by all people, regardless of their nationality.
  • The meter is based on the distance between the North Pole and the equator, and it was originally defined as one ten-millionth of this distance. However, this definition was difficult to measure accurately, so it was later redefined in terms of a physical standard.
  • The meter is defined as the length of the path traveled by light in a vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second

    .
  • The meter is a physical standard that is maintained by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) in France. The BIPM maintains a prototype meter bar made of platinum-iridium alloy. The prototype meter bar is kept in a vacuum chamber at a constant temperature and pressure.
  • Here are some interesting examples of feet to meter conversion:
  • The height of the Statue of Liberty is 305 feet and 6 inches, which is equal to 93.08 meters.
  • The world's longest bridge is the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in China, which is 102.4 miles long, or 165000 meters or 541365 feet.
  • The average human height is 5 feet 4 inches for men and 5 feet 2 inches for women, which is equal to 1.62 meters and 1.57 meters, respectively.
  • The height of a basketball hoop is 10 feet which is 3.04 m
  • The length of a football field is 300 feet Or 91.4 meters
  • The speed of light is 300,000,000 (3x10^8) meters per second
Feet to meter converter is a handy tool to know for anyone who works in science, engineering, or construction and working across different geographies.

Feet and Meter Usage

Usage Icon
  • Feet are used for measuring shorter distances, while meters are used for measuring longer distances.

    However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, human height is typically measured in feet, and you can be ‘x’ meters tall.
  • It is also important to note that feet and meters are used in different countries. For example, the United States and the United Kingdom use the imperial system, while most other countries use the SI system. This means that if you are working on a project with people from other countries, it is important to be clear about which unit of measurement you are using.
Here are some tips for using feet and meters effectively:
  • When measuring short distances, use feet.
  • When measuring long distances, use meters.
  • For height measurement, both feet and meters are used commonly.
  • When working with scientific or technical applications, use meters.
  • When working with people from other countries, be clear about which unit of measurement you are using.
