Converting Meters to Feet
When working with metric units (like meters) and imperial units (like feet), being able to accurately convert between the two systems is very important for calculations and ensuring proper measurements. Meters to feet conversion is one of the most common metric/imperial conversions that comes up regularly across many different fields and applications.
The Connection Between Meters and Feet
Before getting into the specifics of converting meters to feet, it’s helpful to understand the basic relationship between meters and feet as units of length measurement:
- A meter is a metric unit of length equal to approximately 3.28 feet.
- A foot is an imperial/US customary unit of length.
So what does this mean? Essentially, one meter is slightly longer than one foot. So when converting meters to feet, the number of feet will be slightly larger than the original meters.
The Formula for Converting Meters to Feet
The exact formula for converting meters to feet is:
Meters x 3.28084 = Feet
Or approximately:
Meters x 3.28 = Feet (rounded to 2 decimal places)
So to convert meters to feet, you simply multiply the number of meters by 3.28. For example:
- 5 meters x 3.28 = 16.4 feet
- 1.2 meters x 3.28 = 3.94 feet (rounded to 2 decimals)
Simple Conversion Table
| Meters | Feet |
|---|---|
| 0.5 | 1.64 |
| 1 | 3.28 |
| 5 | 16.4 |
| 10 | 32.8 |
| 100 | 328 |
This table shows some common meter to foot conversions so you can see what the feet equivalents are for different meter values.
Key Takeaways
- Meters are slightly longer than feet
- The conversion formula is: Meters x 3.28084 = Feet
- Some useful conversions are:
- 1 m = 3.28 ft
- 5 m = 16.4 ft
- 100 m = 328 ft
- Multiply meters by 3.28 to get the feet value
Being able to accurately convert measurements between metric meters and imperial feet is very useful for engineers, construction professionals, scientists and others who work internationally or across measurement systems. Keeping the formula and key details for meters to feet conversion in mind will help ensure accurate calculations and measurements involving these important units of length.

How to convert meters to feet
1 meter is equal to 3.28084 feet:
1 m = (1/0.3048) ft = 3.28084 ft
The distance d in feet (ft) is equal to the distance d in meters (m) divided by 0.3048:
d(ft) = d(m) / 0.3048
Meters to Feet Formula
ft=m*3.2808
Example
Convert 2 meters to ft:
d(ft) = 2m / 0.3048 = 6.5617ft
50 m to ft,
d(ft) = 50m / 0.3048 = 164.0400ft
100 m to ft,
d(ft) = 100m / 0.3048 = 328.0800ft
