FAQ
How many feet are in a metre?
One foot is exactly 0.3048 m under the 1959 international yard and pound agreement, so 1 m = 3.280839895 ft. This tool uses that standard factor rather than the 3.28 people round to in their heads.
How many feet is 1.8 metres?
1.8 × 3.280839895 ≈ 5.905512 ft, or about 5 feet 10.9 inches. Feet are subdivided into 12 inches, and this tool returns decimal feet, so you'll usually split the result again when quoting a height.
