To convert feet to meters, we use the conversion factor where 1 foot is approximately equal to 0.3048 meters. Multiply the given value in feet by this conversion factor to get the value in meters.
Step 1: Identify the Conversion Factor
To convert from feet to meters, we use the conversion factor:
\[ 1 \text{ ft} = 0.3048 \text{ m} \]
Step 2: Multiply the Given Value by the Conversion Factor
Given:
\[ 12 \text{ ft} \]
We multiply by the conversion factor:
\[ 12 \text{ ft} \times 0.3048 \text{ m/ft} = 3.6576 \text{ m} \]
Step 3: Round the Result to Four Decimal Places
The result is already rounded to four decimal places:
\[ 3.6576 \text{ m} \]
