Key Formulas
Centimeter → Inch
in = cm × 0.393701Kilometer → Mile
mi = km × 0.621371Foot → Meter
m = ft × 0.3048Inch → Centimeter
cm = in × 2.54Formula
ft = m × (1 / 0.3048)Converting meters to feet divides by 0.3048, the same as multiplying by 1 / 0.3048, which gives about 3.2808 ft per meter. The meter is the SI base unit of length, and the international foot is defined as 0.3048 m. Use this conversion for room sizes, track and pool lengths, and building heights: a 100 m sprint is about 328.08 ft, and a 2 m ceiling is about 6.56 ft. NIST Handbook 44 lists the foot and yard relationships. For the survey-foot difference in US land work, see the NIST revised definitions.
