How many feet are in one meter?

3.28 ft
2.54 ft
3.14 ft
3.0 ft

The correct answer is: 3.28 ft

One meter is equal to approximately 3.28 feet. This conversion is based on the metric system, which is widely used around the world, and the standard relationship established between meters and feet in linear measurement. To convert meters to feet, the formula used is to multiply the number of meters by the conversion factor of approximately 3.28084. Therefore, when rounding to two decimal places, 1 meter translates closely to 3.28 feet, making this the accurate conversion for practical use in land surveying and related applications. This understanding is fundamental for land surveyors, as they often need to convert between metric and imperial units depending on the requirements of their projects or clients.
