Frequently Asked Questions

One foot is exactly 0.3048 meters. This is the international standard defined since 1959. To convert any number of feet to meters, simply multiply by 0.3048.
Not exactly. 6 feet equals 1.8288 meters, which is about 17 cm short of 2 meters. A person who is 2 meters tall would be approximately 6 feet 6.74 inches (6′7″).
5 feet 10 inches equals 1.778 meters (or 177.8 cm). First convert 5 feet to 60 inches, add 10 to get 70 inches total, then multiply by 0.0254 to get meters: 70 × 0.0254 = 1.778 m.
The United States inherited the imperial system from Britain during colonization. While most countries switched to the metric system in the 19th and 20th centuries, the US retained customary units (feet, inches, miles) for everyday use. Aviation and some industries worldwide still use feet for altitude measurements.
A quick mental trick: divide the number of feet by 3 and subtract 10%. For example, 9 feet ÷ 3 = 3, minus 10% = 2.7 m (exact: 2.7432 m). Another way: 1 meter is roughly 3 feet 3 inches, so 10 feet is about 3 meters.
