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.
Feet to metres is the direction of reading American or older British plans into a metric build: room dimensions, ceiling heights, plot sizes and the depths quoted in diving and drilling. Anyone working from mid-century drawings does this constantly, since the same site can carry imperial originals and metric revisions.
One foot is exactly 0.3048 m, which makes the conversion exact and the arithmetic easy to check: divide by ten and multiply by three, then add a small correction. Where feet appear with inches, convert to decimal feet first — 12 ft 6 in is 12.5 ft, not 12.6 — which is the single most common slip in this direction.
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.
