What is a Meter and a Foot?
Meter is a measurement used in many parts of the world. It’s a bit longer than a yard. A foot, on the other hand, is often used in the United States. One foot is equal to 12 inches, and a meter is about three feet.
How to Convert Meters to Feet
To convert 1.5 meters to feet, we can use a simple formula. The conversion factor is that 1 meter is approximately 3.28084 feet.
So, to find out how many feet are in 1.5 meters, we multiply:
$$
1.5 \text{ m} \times 3.28084 \text{ ft/m} = 4.92126 \text{ ft}
$$
We can round this number to get approximately 4.92 feet.
