Where this conversion shows up
Elevation and altitude live in both systems: mountains are listed in meters in most references but feet in US ones, aviation uses feet for altitude almost everywhere, and scuba diving tables mix both. Ceiling heights, pool depths and apartment listings cross over just as often.
Worked example
Mount Everest is 8,849 m. 8,849 × 3.28084 = 29,032 feet. Closer to home: a 2.4 m ceiling — standard in many countries — is 7.87 feet, just under the 8-foot US standard.
Rounding and precision
For room dimensions, one decimal foot (or the nearest inch) is plenty. Mental shortcut: multiply by 3, then add 10% of the original — 30 m → 90 + 3 ≈ 98.4 ft (exact: 98.43).

Why does aviation use feet for altitude?
