About feet and meters
Foot (ft)
The foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters, which is 12 inches. It is used for height, room and building dimensions, and aviation altitude.
Meter (m)
The meter is the SI base unit of length. It is used for building dimensions, sport, science and everyday distances in most countries.
Both are units of length; the base unit used internally is m.
Notes
- The inch, foot, yard and mile are the international units, defined exactly in meters (1 in = 0.0254 m). US survey units are not included.
- The nautical mile is the international nautical mile, exactly 1,852 m.
- Negative values are accepted because length can represent a signed displacement.
