Meters to Feet and Inches — Height and Length Converter

How to convert meters to feet and inches

Feet = meters ÷ 0.3048. 1.75 m ÷ 0.3048 = 5.741 ft.
Inches = the decimal part × 12. 0.741 × 12 = 8.9 in.

So 1.75 m is 5 ft 8.9 in, or 5 ft 9 in to the nearest inch. The converter shows the rounded height as the headline and lists the exact feet and inches, the nearest 1/16 inch, total inches and centimeters.

Decimal feet are not feet and inches: 5.74 ft is 5 ft 8.9 in, not 5 ft 7.4 in. For decimal feet as the main answer, use meters to feet; for heights in centimeters, cm to feet and inches.

Room and door heights

Building plans abroad give heights in meters; U.S. builders think in feet and inches:

Meters	Feet and inches
2.0 m (door)	6 ft 6.7 in
2.4 m (ceiling)	7 ft 10.5 in
2.5 m (ceiling)	8 ft 2.4 in
3.0 m (story)	9 ft 10.1 in

A standard U.S. interior door is 80 in (6 ft 8 in, 2.03 m) and a common ceiling is 8 ft (2.44 m), so a European 2.0 m door is about 1 1/4 inches shorter than a U.S. one. To go from feet and inches back to meters, use feet to meters.
