The formula
How to convert meters to feet
One foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters. So to convert meters to feet, divide by 0.3048, which is the same as multiplying by about 3.28084.
Meters, feet and inches formulas
feet =meters ÷ 0.3048 (or × 3.28084)
meters =feet × 0.3048
inches =(feet − whole feet) × 12
Example:1.75 m ÷ 0.3048 = 5.741 ft = 5 ft 8.9 inMultiply by 3.3
For a quick estimate, multiply meters by 3.3. For example, 10 m is about 33 ft, and the exact answer is 32.8.
Triple it, add 10%
Multiply by 3, then add 10% of that. So 20 m becomes 60 + 6 = 66 ft, against an exact 65.6 ft.
Feet to meters
Multiply feet by 0.3, then add a little. For example, 100 ft is about 30 m, and the exact answer is 30.48.
