The formula
m = ft × 0.3048
1 ft = 12 in = 0.3048 m (exact). 1 m = SI base unit. These are exact definitions, so the only rounding is in the displayed result (10 significant digits).
When you need it
Feet to meters is used for ceiling heights, room dimensions, building codes, altitude and diving depth. A foot is exactly 0.3048 m, so 10 feet is just over 3 meters. Pilots and some aviation charts keep feet for altitude even in metric countries.
