2. The SI unit for measurement of length is meter.
3. We use different units for measuring length such as kilometer, millimeter, feet, inches, etc.

Relation

1. The relation between feet and meter is given by:

$1feet=0.3048meter$

If we want to convert ‘n’ feet to meters, we have to multiply n by $0.3048$.

Diagrammatic representation:

Example:

1. Let us assume we have to find the height of a $17$ feet tree in meters. Then
2. Height of tree = $17$ feet
3. We use the feet to meter formula.
4. We know $1$ feet = $0.3048$ m.
5. Therefore $17$ feet = $17\times 0.3048$

=$5.1816m$

Hence the height in meters is $5.1816$ m.

So conversion of feet to meters is done by the formula $1$Feet = $0.3048$ meters.
