1 meter = 3.28084 feet. To convert feet to meters, multiply feet by 0.3048.
Useful for height, room dimensions, and altitude conversions.
Aircraft altitude is one notable exception to metric standardization — most of the world reports flight altitude in feet even in countries that use meters for everything else, a holdover from early aviation history.
1 meter = 3.2808 feet.
1.80 m × 3.2808 ≈ 5.91 ft, or roughly 5' 11".
Every country except the US, Liberia, and Myanmar officially uses meters.
The meter and foot come from entirely different historical measurement systems that were never designed to align — the conversion factor is simply what results from defining both against the same physical standard.
