Feet to Meters Conversion

Converting Feet (ft) to Meters (m) is a common length conversion. 1 ft equals 0.3048 m. For example, 100 ft is equal to 30.48 m.

Quick Mental Math: Feet to Meters

Multiply feet by 0.3 for a fast estimate. For more accuracy, use 0.3048 per foot.

Why is converting Feet to Meters tricky?

The exact factor is close to 0.3 but not equal, so rough math can drift on larger values.

Quick Reference Values

1 ft = 0.3048 m. 3 ft = 0.9144 m. 5 ft = 1.524 m. 6 ft = 1.8288 m. 10 ft = 3.048 m. 20 ft = 6.096 m. 50 ft = 15.24 m. 100 ft = 30.48 m.

What is Feet?

Feet (ft) is a unit of length. A foot is a unit of length defined as exactly 0.3048 meters. It consists of 12 inches and is commonly used in the United States, Liberia, and Myanmar for height, distance, and construction measurements. The foot remains part of the imperial and U.S. customary systems standardized internationally [nist-si-guide]. The foot originated from various historical measurements based on the length of a human foot. It was standardized by the international yard and pound agreement in 1959, fixing the foot at exactly 0.3048 meters [nist-si-guide]. Feet are widely used in the U.S. for building construction, aviation altitudes, and everyday height measurements. Despite global metrication, feet remain common in real estate, sports, and engineering within certain countries [nist-si-guide].

What is Meters?

Meters (m) is a unit of length. The meter is the SI base unit of length defined by the distance light travels in vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds. It provides a precise universal standard for length measurement in science, engineering, and daily life [bipm-si-brochure]. The meter was first defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. It was redefined in 1983 by the CGPM to be based on the speed of light for improved accuracy [bipm-si-brochure]. Meters are used globally as the primary length unit in the SI system. Applications include construction, manufacturing, and national standards among nearly all countries except a few using customary units alongside SI [nist-si-guide].

Common Misspellings

People often search for this conversion using these alternate spellings: foot, feets, fet, feet's, feets, metres, meter, metre, meterss. All of these refer to the Feet to Meters conversion.
