Frequently asked questions
How do I convert feet to meters?
Multiply the length in feet by 0.3048. For example, 5 ft × 0.3048 ≈ 1.524 m. Add any inches converted separately (1 in = 0.0254 m) for a feet-and-inches total.
How do I convert meters to feet and inches?
Divide the length in meters by 0.3048 to get total feet, then convert the leftover decimal to inches by multiplying by 12.
Why is 0.3048 the conversion factor?
One foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters under the international yard and pound agreement, so this factor is exact, not an approximation.
Is anything I type sent to a server?
