Feet to Meters Conversion Calculator

To convert feet to meters, multiply the feet value by 0.3048. For example: 1) 1 foot = 0.3048 meters, 2) 10 feet = 3.048 meters, 3) 100 feet = 30.48 meters, 4) 3.28084 feet = 1 meter. Our calculator handles this automatically.

1 foot equals exactly 0.3048 meters. For quick estimates: 1) 1 meter ≈ 3.28 feet, 2) Therefore, 1 foot ≈ 0.30 meters, 3) 10 feet ≈ 3.05 meters, 4) 100 feet ≈ 30.5 meters. This conversion is standard worldwide for length measurements.

Common feet to meter conversions include: 1) 1 ft = 0.30 m, 2) 3 ft = 0.91 m, 3) 5 ft = 1.52 m, 4) 10 ft = 3.05 m, 5) 25 ft = 7.62 m, 6) 50 ft = 15.24 m, 7) 100 ft = 30.48 m.

Different length units are used because: 1) Meters are part of the metric system used globally, 2) Feet are traditional units still used in the US and some other countries, 3) Meters are the scientific standard (SI unit), 4) Historical and cultural factors influence which unit is commonly used.

For quick estimates of feet to meters: 1) Multiply feet by 0.3 (slightly less than 0.3048), 2) For example: 10 ft × 0.3 = 3 m, 3) 100 ft × 0.3 = 30 m, 4) Or remember that 3 feet is about 1 meter (actually 0.91m), 5) This gives a close approximation for most purposes.

Feet and meters are used differently in construction: 1) US construction uses feet and inches, 2) International construction uses meters, 3) Many projects require conversion between units, 4) Building codes may specify one or both units, 5) Architectural plans often include both measurements, 6) Materials may be sized in either unit.
