To convert 120 feet into meters we have to multiply 120 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

120 ft → L_(m)

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

L_(m) = 120 ft × 0.3048 m

L_(m) = 36.576 m

The final result is:

120 ft → 36.576 m

We conclude that 120 feet is equivalent to 36.576 meters:

120 feet = 36.576 meters
