Meters to Feet Conversion

Converting Meters (m) to Feet (ft) is a common length conversion. 1 m equals 3.28084 ft. For example, 100 m is equal to 328.08399 ft.

Quick Mental Math: Meters to Feet

Multiply meters by 3.28. For a rough shortcut, multiply by 3 and add 10%.

Why is converting Meters to Feet tricky?

One meter is a bit more than 3 feet, so quick guesses often land too low without the extra 0.28.

Quick Reference Values

1 m = 3.28 ft. 1.5 m = 4.92 ft. 1.8 m = 5.91 ft. 2 m = 6.56 ft. 3 m = 9.84 ft. 5 m = 16.4 ft. 10 m = 32.81 ft. 30 m = 98.43 ft.

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].

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].

Common Misspellings

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