The conversion of feet to meters is obtained by multiplying 1 foot = 0.3048 meters.
Foot, inches, centimeters, and meters are the basic measuring units for length.
The basic conversions are:
1 kilometer = 1000 meters
1 meter = 100 cm
1 cm = 10 mm
1 mm = 0.03937 inch
1 inch = 0.0833 feet.
According to the international system of units,
1 foot = 12 inches ...(1)
But we know,
1 inch = 25.4 mm, 1 mm = 0.1 cm, and 1 cm = 0.01 m
By substituting all of these in equation (1), we get
1 foot = 12(25.4 mm)
= 304.8 mm
= 304.8 (0.1 cm)
= 30.48 cm
= 30.48(0.01 m)
= 0.3048 meters
Therefore, 1 foot = 0.3048 meters.
