Feet to metres uses the defined factor 1 ft = 0.3048 m. Multiply feet by 0.3048 and you have metres. A 6 ft adult is 1.8288 m; a 30 ft shipping container interior is 9.144 m. The factor is exact — there is no rounding involved at the definition level. Be careful with feet-and-inches strings (5'10"): convert the inches first (10 in = 25.4 cm), add to the feet portion (5 × 30.48 = 152.4 cm), then express as 1.778 m.
Rock climbers buying rope rated in feet by US retailers need the metric length printed on European-made hardware and route topo guides to match rope length against pitch height. A 70 ft rope factors to 21.34 m, just short of the 30 m (98 ft) standard sport-climbing rope most crags now assume — climbers relying on the shorter rope risk running out on longer pitches. Always round rope length down when converting for safety margin, never up.

The average adult man in the US is about 5 ft 9 in tall. A standard interior ceiling is around 8 ft high. An NBA basketball hoop is 10 ft above the floor. In meters, that gives you: 1 ft = 0.3048 m, 10 ft = 3.048 m, 100 ft = 30.48 m.
The foot (ft) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, defined as exactly 0.3048 meters (12 inches). It is the everyday unit for human height, room sizes, and short distances in the United States. Five-thousand-two-hundred-and-eighty feet make one mile.
The meter (m) is the SI base unit of length. Defined since 2019 as the distance light travels in vacuum in exactly 1/299,792,458 of a second, the meter is the reference all other length units derive from. It is the standard unit for room dimensions, sports fields, and short-to-mid distances in most of the world.
