Question

Convert the following:

1 meter is equivalent to
ao feet (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Answer 1

1 meter = 3.28 feet

Explanation:

The unit of conversion from meters to feet is given as follows;

By convention

1 yard = 09144 meters

1 yard = 3 feet

Therefore, we have;

1 foot = 0.9144/3 = 0.3048 m

Alternatively we can get;

1 inch = 0.0254 meters

1 foot = 12 inches

Therefore, we have;

1 foot = 12 × 0.0254 = 0.3048 meter

Which gives;

1 foot = 0.3048 meter

Given that 0.3048 meter = 1 foot, to find the measure of 1 meter, we proceed by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.3048 to get

0.3048/0.3048 meter = 1/0.3048 foot = 3.28084 feet

1 meter = 3.28084 feet. ≈ 3.28 feet to the nearest hundredth
