What this tool does

Inputs

  • From: Choose one: Foot, Meter, Centimeter, Inch, Yard. Starts as Foot.
  • To: Choose one of the same 5 units as "From". Starts as Meter.

How to use

  1. Enter the amount you want to convert.

Worked examples

Conversions from feet to meters:

  • 1 ft = 0.3048 m
  • 5 ft = 1.524 m
  • 10 ft = 3.048 m
  • 50 ft = 15.24 m
  • 100 ft = 30.48 m

Multiply the number of feet by 0.3048 to get meters. Both units are exact definitions, so 0.3048 is the exact factor: 1 ft = 0.3048 m.

Limitations

  • Converts the unit of a length only. It does not work out a length from other measurements.
  • Uses international inches, feet and yards, which are defined exactly in metric units.
