### Formula used to convert feet to meters

If you wish to know the formula that is used to convert feet to meters then you will have to look at the equations mentioned below to understand as to the steps that are followed in the formula –

### Example:

$$remember \,that\, in\, a\, meter\, there\, are\, 3.28\, feet$$

$$and\, let\, us\, say\, that\, feet\,=\,6$$

$$thus,\,\frac{6}{3.28}\,=\,1.83\, meters.$$

$$OR \,use\, the\, 2nd\, formula$$

$$because \,in \,a \,foot\, there\, are\, 0.3048\, meters$$

$$6 \times 0.3048\,=\,1.83 \,meters$$

## What is the formula used to convert feet to meters?

### Formula 1 to convert feet to meters

$$\frac{feet}{3.28 feet}\,=\, meters\, (because \,1 \,meter\,=\,3.28 \,feet)$$

### Formula 2 to convert feet to meters

$$feet \times 0.3048 \,meters\,=\,meters \,(because \,1\, foot\,=\,0.3048)$$

### Formula to convert meters to feet

$$meters \times 3.28 \,= \,feet\,(because \,1\, meter \,=\,3.28\,feet)$$
