How to convert feet to meters
One foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 metres, so multiply feet by 0.3048 to get metres, or multiply metres by 3.28084 to get feet. 10 ft is 3.048 m, and a 2 m door is about 6 ft 6.7 in.
Heights: turn feet and inches into inches first, then multiply by 2.54 for centimetres. 5 ft 10 in = 70 in = 177.8 cm, and 6 ft = 72 in = 182.9 cm (1.83 m).
Floor area: square feet and square metres don’t use the same factor. Multiply square feet by 0.09290304 (that’s 0.3048 squared), so a 1,000 sq ft flat is about 92.9 m², and 1 m² is about 10.76 sq ft.
