Multiply feet by 0.3048 to get meters. One foot is exactly 30.48 cm.
Formula
1 ft = 0.3048 m
meters = feet × 0.3048

10 ft = 3.048 m
Good to know
A quick estimate: divide feet by 3.3 (10 ft ≈ 3 m). A standard US ceiling of 8 ft is 2.44 m, and aircraft cruising at 35,000 ft are about 10.7 km up. For heights given as feet and inches, convert the inches separately with the inches to cm converter or enter decimal feet (5 ft 6 in = 5.5 ft).
