How Do You Convert Feet to Meters?

Feet to Meters Formula

1 feet is equal to 0,3048 meters:

1 ft = 0,3048 m

The measure denoted as ‘d’ in meters (m) can be expressed as the measure ‘d’ in feet (ft) multiplied by a factor of 0.3048:

d_(m) = d_(ft) * 0,3048

Examples

Example 1:

Consider a common household scenario involving feet to meters conversion in electricity. Imagine you have a string of decorative lights with bulbs spaced 1.5 feet apart. To ensure safety compliance, you need to know the equivalent distance in meters. Begin by converting 1.5 feet to meters using the conversion factor: 1 foot = 0.3048 meters. Thus, 1.5 feet equals 0.4572 meters. This conversion is vital in situations where precision matters, guaranteeing proper electrical setups while maintaining aesthetic appeal.

Example 2:

In the realm of electrical engineering, let’s consider a power cord for a common household appliance, such as a toaster. If the cord length is 6 feet, and we wish to determine its length in meters, we can employ the same conversion factor: 1 foot = 0.3048 meters. Thus, the length of the power cord in meters would be:

Length in meters = 6 feet * 0.3048 meters/foot = 1.8288 meters

Understanding the length of the power cord in meters is essential for safety considerations, such as ensuring that the appliance is positioned appropriately in relation to electrical outlets.

How Many Feet in a Meter?

There are 3.2808 feet in a meter.

1 meter = 1 m / (0.3048 m / ft) = 3.2808 ft

How Many Meters in a Foot?

One foot is equal to 0.3048 meters:

1 ft = 0.3048 * 1 ft = 0.3048 m
