About this conversion
Meters and feet both measure human-scale distances, but they are standard in different industries and regions. The meter is the SI base unit for length, used in science, most countries' construction codes, and international standards. The foot is the standard in US real estate, architecture, and — notably — global aviation, where altitudes are universally reported in feet regardless of the country. One meter equals exactly 3.28084 feet, or just over 3 feet 3 inches. Ceiling heights illustrate this well: a standard 8-foot ceiling in a US home is 2.438 meters; a generous 10-foot ceiling is 3.048 meters. The foot was historically defined as the length of a human foot and varied by region. The international foot of 0.3048 meters was standardized in 1959.
