Converting meters to feet and inches is a common task in various fields such as construction, engineering, and daily measurements. To convert meters to feet, multiply the length in meters by 3.28084, since one meter equals approximately 3.28084 feet. For instance, 5 meters is equivalent to 16.4042 feet (5 × 3.28084). To express this in feet and inches, note that one foot equals 12 inches. Therefore, 16.4042 feet can be broken down into 16 feet and 0.4042 feet. Multiplying 0.4042 by 12 gives approximately 4.85 inches, so 5 meters equals 16 feet and 4.85 inches. This conversion is particularly useful when dealing with measurements in countries that use the imperial system.
