Please provide values below to convert feet [ft] and inches [in] to meters [m], or vice versa.
To convert feet + inches to meters, use the following standard conversion factors (exact international definitions):
1 foot = 0.3048 meters (exactly)
1 inch = 0.0254 meters (exactly)
Formula
meters = (feet × 0.3048) + (inches × 0.0254)
Quick one-step version
meters = (feet × 12 + inches) × 0.0254
Examples
5 feet 10 inches (common adult male height)
Calculation: 5 × 0.3048 + 10 × 0.0254 = 1.524 + 0.254 = 1.778 m
→ 1.78 m (rounded to two decimals)
6 feet 2 inches (common height for taller men / basketball players)
Calculation: 6 × 0.3048 + 2 × 0.0254 = 1.8288 + 0.0508 = 1.8796 m
→ 1.88 m
5 feet 11 inches (very frequently seen height, especially in sports & dating profiles)
Calculation: 5 × 0.3048 + 11 × 0.0254 = 1.524 + 0.2794 = 1.8034 m
→ 1.80 m
5 feet 4 inches (standard "average" woman's height)
Calculation: 5 × 0.3048 + 4 × 0.0254 = 1.524 + 0.1016 = 1.6256 m
→ 1.63 m (rounded to two decimals)
5 feet 3 inches (typical or petite-to-average height)
Calculation: 5 × 0.3048 + 3 × 0.0254 = 1.524 + 0.0762 = 1.6002 m
→ 1.60 m
5 feet 6 inches (taller average models/actresses)
Calculation: 5 × 0.3048 + 6 × 0.0254 = 1.524 + 0.1524 = 1.6764 m
