How Do You Convert Lineal Feet To Meters?
Linear feet, sometimes called lineal feet, are feet measured in a straight line. When someone talks about a person being 5 feet tall, they are referring to linear feet. This is in contrast to square feet, which measure an area instead of a straight line. Converting linear feet to meters is relatively easy, provided you have a calculator handy. Write the number of linear feet you are converting to meters on a piece of paper. Write down a multiplication sign followed by the number .3048, and an equals sign.

Write this number following the equals sign on the paper in order to arrive at your answer.
