When to use meters → feet
Metres to feet uses the exact factor 1 ft = 0.3048 m, set by the 1959 international yard and pound agreement. So feet = metres ÷ 0.3048, or equivalently metres × 3.28084. A 100 m sprint covers 328.08 ft; a 2 m ceiling is 6.56 ft. The US survey foot (used for legacy land surveys) differs by 2 parts per million — irrelevant for everyday work but it does break geodetic datasets, which is why the US officially retired the survey foot in 2023.
US real-estate listings for European or Asian properties often carry ceiling heights in metres in the original listing data, and agents convert to feet because that's what American buyers judge a room by. A 2.75 m ceiling reads as 9.02 ft — comfortably above the 8 ft baseline most buyers expect, worth calling out explicitly rather than leaving the metric figure to speak for itself. Round to two decimal feet; buyers notice the difference between “9 ft” and “just over 9 ft.”

About the meter and the foot
The meter
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.
The foot
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.
