Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

1 foot = 12 inches = 30.48 cm exactly. Knowing feet gives you inches instantly.
For a quick metric estimate, multiply feet by 0.3 — 10 ft ≈ 3 m.
Pilots and air-traffic control use feet globally, even over metric countries.

Avoid these

Writing "6.2 ft" to mean "6 feet 2 inches" — the decimal form is 6.167 ft, not 6.2.
Confusing feet (length) with square feet (area) in US real-estate listings.
Using 0.3 instead of 0.3048 on structural drawings — errors accumulate on multi-storey buildings.
