Meters to Feet Converter
A meter is 3.28084 feet. It is the conversion for a foreign height, a pool length, a room on a European floor plan, or anything an altimeter reports.
How the math works
feet = meters x 3.280839895. The factor is 1 / 0.3048, and 0.3048 is exact, so the conversion is exact too. To read the answer as feet and inches, keep the whole feet and multiply what is left by 12.
Common questions
- How many feet is 2 meters?
- 6.562 feet, which is 6 feet 6.7 inches. Two meters is the height a door frame is built to in most of the world, and it clears an American six-footer by half a foot.
- What is the quick way to estimate meters to feet?
- Multiply by three and add ten percent. For 8 meters: 24 plus 2.4 is 26.4 feet, against a true 26.25. Under one percent out, and it works in either direction if you reverse it.
- How many feet is 100 meters?
- 328.08 feet. A 100 meter sprint is about 109.4 yards, which is why it is not quite a football field, and why the two distances have never been directly comparable.
- Is a meter longer than a yard?
- Yes, by about three and a half inches. A meter is 1.0936 yards, so a 100 yard field is 91.44 meters. The gap is small enough to ignore in conversation and large enough to matter in any measurement you are going to cut to.
