How to convert meters to feet
Any physical quantity can be written as:
Q = nu , where n= numerical value and u = unit used
We know that:
1 m = 3.28084 ft
1 ft = 0.3048 m
So, you can easily convert your quantity in meters to feet by simply multiply it by 3.28084
Hence, general formula to convert meters to feet:
p(ft) = 3.28084 × p(m), where p is the numerical value
For example:
Convert 10 meters to feet
10 m = 10 × 3.28084 ft = 32.8084 ft
