Worked example
To convert 5 meters to feet, multiply 5 by 3.2808399 to get 16.4041995 feet, which rounds to 16.40 feet. So a room listed as 5 meters long in a European floor plan is about 16 feet 4.85 inches long on a US tape measure.
Rounding and accuracy
Use 2 decimal places for everyday tasks like furniture sizing or height comparisons, since that is finer than a tape measure. Use 4 or more decimals for construction, engineering, or scientific work where small errors compound across repeated measurements or long distances.
