How this is calculated

Formula:

ft = m / 0.3048; m = ft × 0.3048

In plain language:

Feet and meters connect through an exact definition: 1 ft equals 0.3048 m. Divide meters by 0.3048 to get feet, or multiply feet by 0.3048 to get meters.

The formula is always visible so you can verify the math and explain your numbers to anyone who asks.

Meters to feet converter explained

Meters and feet both measure length. If a room plan is in meters but your tape measure is in feet, this converter bridges the gap and keeps inches nearby for extra confidence.

How the conversion works

Feet are defined exactly in terms of meters:

1\\,\\text{ft} = 0.3048\\,\\text{m}

So converting meters to feet is:

\\text{ft} = \\frac{\\text{m}}{0.3048}

And converting feet to meters is:

\\text{m} = \\text{ft} \\times 0.3048

Units and conversions

Unit	Symbol	Relation
Meter	m	base unit
Foot	ft	$1\\,\\text{ft} = 0.3048\\,\\text{m}$
Inch	in	$12\\,\\text{in} = 1\\,\\text{ft}$
Centimeter	cm	$100\\,\\text{cm} = 1\\,\\text{m}$

Worked examples

Converting 1.8 m to feet
$\\text{ft} = \\frac{1.8}{0.3048} = 5.90551\\,\\text{ft}$
Result: 5.90551 ft.
Converting 10 ft to meters
$\\text{m} = 10 \\times 0.3048 = 3.048\\,\\text{m}$
Result: 3.048 m.

Tips and pitfalls

If you need feet plus inches, convert to inches first, then split by 12.
For interior measurements, rounding feet to two decimals is often enough; for fabrication, keep more.
A yard is three feet; it can help when you are converting larger dimensions.
