Conversion Formula
The formula to convert meters to feet is:
feet = meters × 3.28084
This works because one meter is defined as exactly 3.28084 feet. When you multiply a measurement in meters by this number, you change the unit into feet. For example, if you have 6.6 meters:
- Multiply 6.6 by 3.28084
- 6.6 × 3.28084 = 21.653544
- Thus, 6.6 meters equals about 21.6535 feet
The decimal part shows the fraction of feet beyond whole feet.
Conversion Example
- Convert 2.3 m to feet:
- Multiply 2.3 by 3.28084
- 2.3 × 3.28084 = 7.545932
- Result: 7.5459 feet
- Convert 10 m to feet:
- Multiply 10 by 3.28084
- 10 × 3.28084 = 32.8084
- Result: 32.8084 feet
- Convert 0.75 m to feet:
- Multiply 0.75 by 3.28084
- 0.75 × 3.28084 = 2.46063
- Result: 2.4606 feet
- Convert 5.5 m to feet:
- Multiply 5.5 by 3.28084
- 5.5 × 3.28084 = 18.0446
- Result: 18.0446 feet

Conversion Definitions
m (meter): The meter is the standard unit of length in the metric system, defined as the distance light travels in vacuum during 1/299,792,458 of a second. It’s widely used around the world for measuring distance and height in science, engineering, and daily life.
feet (ft): The foot is a unit of length in the imperial system, equal to exactly 12 inches or 0.3048 meters. Commonly used in the United States and UK for measuring height, distance, and in construction, it provides a familiar scale for everyday measurements.
Conversion FAQs
Why is the conversion factor 3.28084 used for meters to feet?
The factor 3.28084 comes from the exact definition that one foot equals 0.3048 meters. When inverted, one meter equals 1 divided by 0.3048, which is approximately 3.28084 feet. This fixed ratio is internationally accepted for accurate conversions between metric and imperial units.
Can I convert meters to feet without a calculator?
You can estimate by knowing one meter is about 3.28 feet. Multiply meters by 3, then add a bit more to get close. For example, 6.6 × 3 = 19.8, plus a bit more (~1.85) gives roughly 21.65 feet. This rough method works if a precise value isn’t needed.
Why might conversion results sometimes differ slightly?
Differences occur because some use rounded conversion factors like 3.28 or 3.281 instead of the more exact 3.28084. Rounding errors or truncating decimals also cause small variations. For exact engineering or scientific work, using the precise value is recommended.
Is converting negative meters to feet valid?
Yes, negative values represent distances below a reference point, like depths below sea level. The conversion process stays the same, multiplying by 3.28084, but the result remains negative, indicating direction or position relative to zero.
How many decimal places should I use when converting meters to feet?
The decimal places depends on required precision. For most practical uses, 2 to 4 decimal places suffice (e.g., 21.6535). Scientific work may require more. Too many decimals can clutter results without adding meaningful accuracy in everyday situations.
