How metres convert to feet
One metre is 3.28084 feet, so feet = metres × 3.28084. This is the same as dividing by 0.3048, the exact length of a foot in metres.
In your head: multiply by 3 and add a tenth. For 20 m, 20 × 3 is 60, plus 6 gives 66 ft; the true value is 65.6.
Turning the decimal into inches
The answer comes out in decimal feet, and the part after the point is not inches. Multiply that part by 12 to get them. A height of 1.80 m is 5.906 ft: that is 5 ft, and 0.906 × 12 = 10.9 inches, so about 5 ft 11 in.
| Metres | Decimal feet | Feet and inches |
|---|---|---|
| 1.50 | 4.92 | 4 ft 11 in |
| 1.60 | 5.25 | 5 ft 3 in |
| 1.70 | 5.58 | 5 ft 7 in |
| 1.80 | 5.91 | 5 ft 11 in |
| 1.90 | 6.23 | 6 ft 3 in |
| 2.00 | 6.56 | 6 ft 7 in |
Distances worth remembering
A 100 m sprint is 328 ft. A 50 m swimming pool is 164 ft. A ten-storey building of about 30 m is close to 100 ft, which makes “3 metres a storey, 10 feet a storey” a handy pairing. A depth of 10 m of water, where the pressure is double that at the surface, is about 33 ft — the figure divers learn.
Square and cubic metres
For floor area, multiply square metres by 10.764 to get square feet; a 100 m² flat is 1,076 sq ft. For volume, a cubic metre is 35.3 cubic feet. Using the plain 3.28 factor on an area or a volume is the most common mistake with this conversion.
