Is the foot used here the same one US land surveyors use?
Not anymore. The US survey foot (a very slightly different, older definition from 1893) was officially retired by NIST at the end of 2022, with the international foot - exactly 0.3048 metres, the figure this tool uses - taking over everywhere, including surveying. The difference is tiny, about one-eighth of an inch per mile, but it mattered enough to real surveyors that the US government made the switch mandatory.
How many metres are in a foot?
One foot is exactly 0.3048 metres, by the international definition (a foot is 12 inches and an inch is 2.54 cm). So you multiply feet by 0.3048.
How do I convert feet to metres quickly?
Multiply by 0.3, or divide by about 3.28, for an estimate. 10 feet is roughly 3 metres. This tool gives the exact value.
How do I handle feet and inches together?
Convert the whole thing to inches first (feet × 12 + inches), then to metres, or use the full Length Converter. This page takes a value in feet, including decimals.
Is the conversion exact?
Yes. The foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 metres, so the result is exact rather than rounded.
