How to Convert Meters to Feet
Example: How many feet are equivalent to 82.45 meters?
As;
1 meters = 3.28084 feet
82.45 meters = Y feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 82.45 times 3.28084 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 82.45 * 3.28084 / 1 = 270.505258 feet
Answer is: 270.505258 feet are equivalent to 82.45 meters.
