feet and inches to meters

The feet and inches to meters conversion lets you combine both imperial units into a single metric value.
To perform it manually, convert inches into feet (by dividing by 12), add that value to the total feet,
then multiply the result by 0.3048 — the number of meters in one foot.

Feet and Inches to Meters Formula

📘 Formula: Meters = (Feet + Inches ÷ 12) × 0.3048

Example: To convert 5 feet 2 inches to meters — first divide 2 by 12 to get 0.1667,
then add it to 5 → (5.1667) × 0.3048 = 1.5748 meters.
So, 5′2″ = 1.5748 m precisely.

Feet and Inches to Meters and Centimeters

The feet and inches to meters and centimeters conversion gives a full metric breakdown.
Once you find the value in meters, simply multiply the decimal part by 100 to get centimeters.
This method is ideal when height precision or detailed engineering measurements are required.

Example: 5 feet 7 inches → (5 + 7 ÷ 12) × 0.3048 = 1.7018 meters
→ 1 meter + 70.18 centimeters = 1 m 70.18 cm.

💡 Tip: Multiply the meter’s decimal by 100 to quickly convert it to centimeters —
for example, 1.5748 m → 157.48 cm.
