What Is a Feet to Meters?
The international foot has been defined as exactly 0.3048 m since the 1959 agreement, so 1 m = 3.28084 ft is exact to the displayed precision. The US survey foot is a hair longer (0.3048006 m) and shows up in old land surveys, but everyday height, room sizes and aviation altitudes use the international foot.
This pair drives daily traffic from human height conversion (6 ft = 1.829 m, 5'6" = 1.676 m), room dimensions on US house plans being read by a metric-country buyer, and aviation altitudes — flight levels stay in feet worldwide regardless of region. A typical cruising altitude of 35,000 ft is 10,668 m, exactly.
For inches in the same calculation, the inches-to-cm tool is the natural neighbour.
