How to Convert Meters to Feet
Example: How many feet are equivalent to 32.81 meters?
As;
1 meters = 3.28084 feet
32.81 meters = Y feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 32.81 times 3.28084 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 32.81 * 3.28084 / 1 = 107.6443604 feet
Answer is: 107.6443604 feet are equivalent to 32.81 meters.
