Calculation: m = ft x 0.3048

Conversion Formula

m = ft x 0.3048

Take the value in feet, multiply it by 0.3048, and the result is the same amount in meters.

This works because each feet equals 0.3048 m. Keep extra decimals if you need higher precision.

Reverse

ft = m x 3.280839895

To go the other way, use the reverse formula so the unit relationship stays exact.

How to Convert

1Start with the feet valueEnter the amount you already have in feet. Double-check the source unit first so you are converting the right number.
2Apply the feet to meters formulaUse m = ft x 0.3048 or let the converter calculate it instantly. This gives you the equivalent value in m.
3Round for your use caseUse more decimals for science, billing, or engineering. For everyday use, round only after the full conversion is done.

Frequently Asked Questions

QHow many meters is 6 feet?

6 feet equals 1.8288 meters. Multiply 6 × 0.3048 = 1.8288 m. This is close to average adult male height in many Western countries.

QHow many meters is 5 feet 9 inches?

5 feet 9 inches equals 1.7526 meters. First convert to inches: (5 × 12) + 9 = 69 inches. Then multiply by 0.0254: 69 × 0.0254 = 1.7526 m.

QIs 1 foot exactly 0.3048 meters?

Yes. Since the International Yard and Pound Agreement of 1959, the foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters. This is not an approximation — it is the legal definition used in engineering, surveying, and science.

QHow do I convert a room's square footage to square meters?

To convert square footage to square meters, multiply the area in sq ft by 0.0929. For example, a 200 sq ft room = 200 × 0.0929 = 18.58 sq m. Alternatively, convert each foot dimension to meters first, then multiply: if the room is 10 ft × 20 ft, that is 3.048 m × 6.096 m = 18.58 sq m.
