How to Convert Meters to Feet

There are two primary ways to convert meters to feet. Since one foot is internationally defined as exactly 0.3048 meters, the exact conversion formula is:

$$feet = \frac{meters}{0.3048}$$

Alternatively, you can multiply the meters value by the conversion factor $3.280839895$ (often rounded to $3.28084$ for everyday calculations):

$$feet = meters \times 3.28084$$

Converting to Feet and Inches

If you want to represent a decimal feet value in standard feet and inches format (such as 6 feet 2 inches), follow these steps:

1. Keep the whole number as the feet value. For example, in $5.74$ feet, the feet value is $5$.
2. Take the fractional decimal part ($0.74$ feet) and multiply it by $12$ (since there are 12 inches in a foot) to get the inches: $0.74 \times 12 = 8.88$ inches.
3. Combine the two values: $5$ feet and $8.88$ inches.
