Conversion formula

The conversion factor from feet to meters is 0.3048, which means that 1 foot is equal to 0.3048 meters:

1 ft = 0.3048 m

To convert 1.2 feet into meters we have to multiply 1.2 by the conversion factor in order to get the length amount from feet to meters. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 ft → 0.3048 m

1.2 ft → L_(m)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the length L in meters:

L_(m) = 1.2 ft × 0.3048 m

L_(m) = 0.36576 m

The final result is:

1.2 ft → 0.36576 m

We conclude that 1.2 feet is equivalent to 0.36576 meters:

1.2 feet = 0.36576 meters

Alternative conversion

We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 meter is equal to 2.7340332458443 × 1.2 feet.

Another way is saying that 1.2 feet is equal to 1 ÷ 2.7340332458443 meters.

Approximate result

For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that one point two feet is approximately zero point three six six meters:

1.2 ft ≅ 0.366 m

An alternative is also that one meter is approximately two point seven three four times one point two feet.
