How to convert metres to feet
Every length is converted through metres. Each unit has an exact factor: 1 in = 0.0254 m, 1 ft = 0.3048 m, 1 yd = 0.9144 m, 1 mile = 1,609.344 m and 1 nautical mile = 1,852 m. Metric units go in powers of ten: 10 mm = 1 cm, 100 cm = 1 m, 1,000 m = 1 km.
The UK uses metric for most things, but road distances and speeds stay in miles, and people often give their height in feet and inches. Try the feet and inches to cm converter for heights.
