How do I convert feet to meters?

Multiply the foot value by 0.3048. One foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters, so 10 ft × 0.3048 = 3.048 m. To go the other way, divide meters by 0.3048 (or multiply by 3.28084). The converter does both directions for you — type in either field and the other updates instantly.

How many meters is 6 feet?

6 feet is exactly 1.8288 meters — a common question for body height. 5 feet is 1.524 m, and 5 ft 10 in is about 1.778 m. For any other height, just type the foot value into the converter; use decimals for inches, e.g. 5.5 ft for 5 ft 6 in.

Is the 0.3048 factor exact or rounded?

Exact. Since the international yard and pound agreement of 1959, the foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters (12 inches of exactly 25.4 mm each) — a definition, not an approximation. Any rounding in results comes only from trimming long decimals for readability.

How the conversion works

The foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters, so the conversion is a single multiplication or division:

feet → meters: multiply by 0.3048 — 10 ft × 0.3048 = 3.048 m
meters → feet: divide by 0.3048 — 2 m ÷ 0.3048 = 6.5617 ft

There is no rounding hidden in the factor itself: 0.3048 is a definition (fixed internationally in 1959), so results are as exact as the number of decimals you keep.
