Where it is used
Metres are converted to feet in aviation (flight altitude), mountain heights, English-language property listings and descriptions of pools or sports fields. For example, the height of Everest, 8848.86 m, is about 29,031.7 feet.
A quick mental shortcut
1 m = 3.28084 feet. Roughly, multiply by 3 and add a tenth: 100 m x 3 = 300, plus 30 = 330 feet (the exact result is 328.08).
Exact examples: 2 m x 3.28084 = 6.56 feet; 100 m = 328.08 feet.
Good to know
The foot is now defined through the metre: exactly 0.3048 m, so the two systems are fully aligned.
