To convert feet to metres, multiply the number of feet by 0.3048. One foot is exactly 0.3048 metres — this is an internationally agreed exact definition. For example, 10 feet = 10 × 0.3048 = 3.048 m. A swimming pool that is 50 feet long equals 15.24 m. A building floor height of 9 feet equals 2.7432 m.

Feet are commonly used in the United States and the UK for altitude, depth, ceiling height, and distances. Metres are the SI standard used internationally in science, aviation (in many countries), real estate, sport, and engineering. You'll need this conversion for aviation altitude charts, building plans, swimming pool and athletics track dimensions, diving depths, and comparing property or room sizes across countries.
One foot equals exactly 0.3048 metres. This is an exact definition established in 1959. To convert feet to metres, multiply by 0.3048. To convert metres back to feet, multiply by 3.28084.
One metre equals approximately 3.28084 feet (or 3 feet 3.37 inches). This is the reciprocal of the feet-to-metres conversion: 1 ÷ 0.3048 = 3.28084 ft/m.
6 feet = 6 × 0.3048 = 1.8288 metres, usually rounded to 1.83 m. For reference, the average adult height globally is around 1.71 m (about 5 ft 7 in).
100 feet = 100 × 0.3048 = 30.48 metres. This means 100 feet is the same as 30.48 m or 3,048 cm.
