Feet to Meter Converter - Imperial to Metric

Foot (ft) = 12 inches = 30.48 cm. Used in the USA, UK (height, building heights) and aviation (altitude). The tool converts feet and inches to meters, centimeters and vice versa, with a reference table of height and popular values.

Conversion factors – feet, inches, meters

1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in) = 30.48 cm = 0.3048 m. 1 inch (in) = 2.54 cm = 0.0254 m. 1 meter = 3.28084 feet = 3 feet 3.37 inches. 1 cm = 0.3937 in. Formula: m = ft × 0.3048. Formula: m = (ft × 12 + in) × 0.0254.

Rate conversion table

1 ft = 30.48 cm. 2 ft = 60.96 cm. 3 ft = 91.44 cm. 4 ft = 121.92 cm. 5 ft = 152.4 cm. 6 ft = 182.88 cm. 7 ft = 213.36 cm. 10 ft = 304.8 cm. 100 ft = 30.48 m. 1000 ft = 304.8 m (aircraft altitude).

Height in feet and inches

5'0" = 152.4 cm. 5'3" = 160.0 cm. 5'6" = 167.6 cm. 5'7" = 170.2 cm. 5'9" = 175.3 cm. 5'10" = 177.8 cm. 6'0" = 182.9 cm. 6'2" = 187.9 cm. 6'4" = 193.0 cm. 6'7" = 200.7 cm. Conversion: (feet × 30.48) + (inches × 2.54) = cm.

Aviation applications

Aviation altitude: feet. Flight level FL350 = 35000 ft = 10668 m. Standard flight levels: FL100 = 10000 ft. Above FL290: RVSM (reduced vertical minima). Height of AMSL airports (above sea level): EPWA (Warsaw) = 361 ft = 110 m. Ceiling (cloud ceiling): always in feet in aviation.

Frequently asked questions

How to convert height in feet to cm in head?

Method: feet × 30, then add feet (instead of ×30.48). 5 ft: 5×30=150, +5=155 cm (exactly 152.4, error 2.6 cm). Better method: 5 ft = 152 cm (remember), then +2.54 cm for each inch. 5'6" = 152 + 6×2.54 = 152 + 15.24 = 167.24 cm.

Why does aviation use feet?

Historical: ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) standards are based on Anglo-Saxon traditions. The USA dominated aviation in the 20th century and imposed restrictions. Today: ICAO has alloys as a standard for high-altitude (FL050+). China: switched to meters (internal) but reports feet to ICAO. Ceilings: 8 ft (standard), 9-10 ft (high). 2×4", 2×6", 4×4". Plywood: 4×8 ft. Plan conversion: 1 ft = 12" = 30.48 cm. Drawing scale: 1/4" = 1 ft (1:48). Worth it: many construction tools from the USA (YouTube tutorials) give measurements in inches.

How to check your foot height on clothing from the USA?

Typical sizes XS-XL: height not specified. Jeans inseam (leg length): 30" = 76 cm, 32" = 81 cm, 34" = 86 cm. Shirts: "Tall" versions for > 6 ft (182 cm). Sizing charts: always convert via tool. Shoe sizes: US size 10 ≈ EU 43-44.

How many feet is one floor of the building?

Standard floor: 10 ft (305 cm) floor to floor (with structure). Net (free height): 8-9 ft (244-274 cm). In Poland: typical floor = 3 m (approx. 9.84 ft).
