Where it is used

Feet appear in flight altitudes, in people's height in the USA and UK, and in room dimensions. Someone who says they are 6 feet tall is 1.83 m, and a plane's cruising altitude of 35,000 feet corresponds to 10,668 m.

A quick mental shortcut

1 foot = 0.3048 m exactly. Roughly, multiply by 0.3: 10 feet x 0.3 = 3 m (the exact result is 3.048 m, an error of about 1.6%).

Exact examples: 6 feet x 0.3048 = 1.8288 m; 35,000 feet x 0.3048 = 10,668 m.

Good to know

You may also see a separate US survey foot, which differs from the international foot by only about two parts per million, so it does not matter for everyday use.
