How this is calculated

m = ft × 0.3048 (exact — the foot is defined as 0.3048 m)

The feet-first direction shows up wherever US specs meet metric reality: an 8 ft ceiling is 2.44 m, a 100 ft dive is 30.48 m, and cruising altitude of 35,000 ft is 10,668 m. One foot is exactly 0.3048 m, so every answer here is definition-exact.

The international foot has been exactly 0.3048 m since 1959. Aviation still reports altitude in feet worldwide (a convention, not a unit ambiguity), which is why the chart runs all the way to airliner heights.

Frequently asked questions

How many meters is 1 foot?

Exactly 0.3048 m. Ten feet is 3.048 m — a handy anchor: shift the decimal and add 5%… actually just ×0.3 underestimates by 1.6%, so for anything that matters use the exact factor.

What is a 6 ft person in meters?

1.83 m (6 × 0.3048 = 1.8288). Heights sit right at the range where rounding shows: 5 ft 10 in is 1.778 m, 6 ft 2 in is 1.8796 m.

Why is Everest 29,032 ft?

That is the 2020 official survey height — 8,848.86 m. It is in the chart as a sanity anchor for big numbers: feet ≈ meters × 3.28.

Feet or foot — and the apostrophe?

One foot, six feet. The prime symbols 6′2″ mean 6 ft 2 in. This page takes decimal feet; convert inches to a decimal first (2 in = 0.167 ft) or use our CM pages for height work.
