Direct answer

One foot equals exactly 0.3048 meter. Multiply any foot measurement by 0.3048 to calculate its meter equivalent.

Meters = feet x 0.3048
1 foot 0.3048 meter
10 feet 3.048 meters
100 feet 30.48 meters

14 ft x 16 ft4.2672 m x 4.8768 m
15 ft x 20 ft4.572 m x 6.096 m

These are linear length and width conversions. Floor area must be calculated or converted separately in square units.

Exact values and rounded reference values

Tables may show exact converted values or values rounded for easier reading. The appropriate precision depends on the intended use.

12 feet = exactly 3.6576 meters

Rounded to three decimals: 3.658 meters

Rounded to two decimals: 3.66 meters

Rounded to one decimal: 3.7 meters

Use the exact value when the measurement will be used in further calculations.

How to use reference measurements correctly

  • Confirm that the original measurement is linear feet.
  • Retain decimal or fractional portions.
  • Convert each dimension separately.
  • Do not treat feet and square feet as the same unit.
  • Use suitable precision for the task.
  • Verify critical dimensions with the original specification.

Common reference-table mistakes

Using a nearby value instead of the actual measurement

A reference table is useful for quick checks, but a precise source value should be converted directly.

Confusing linear and square measurements

A table of feet and meters does not convert floor area.

Ignoring separate inch values

A measurement such as 8 feet 6 inches is not the same as 8 feet.

Assuming every displayed value is exact

Check whether the table has rounded its meter values.

Using a general measurement as a product specification

Always verify actual furniture, equipment, opening, and building dimensions.
