Step 1:
Use the conversion factor:
1 meter = 3.28084 feet.
Step 2:
Multiply 1.75 meters by 3.28084 feet per meter:
\[1.75 \space \text { m} \times 3.28084 \space \text { ft/m} \approx 5.74147 \space \text { ft} \]
Step 3:
Therefore, 1.75 meters is approximately 5.74 feet.
Supplemental Knowledge:
To convert meters to feet, you can use the conversion factor:
1 meter = 3.28084 feet.
To convert 1.75 meters to feet, multiply the number of meters by the conversion factor:
\[\text { Feet} = 1.75 \text { m} \times 3.28084 \text { ft/m} \]
\[\text { Feet} = 5.74147 \text { ft} \]
When rounded to two decimal places, this is approximately:
\[\text { Feet} = 5.74 \text { ft} \]
Concepts to Actions:
Understanding length conversions is particularly useful in everyday situations like home improvement projects, traveling abroad and shopping online for furniture that uses different measurement systems such as the metric system versus imperial. Knowing how to convert measurements can ensure it fits seamlessly within your space if buying online from another country that uses imperial measurements (say purchasing furniture online from France using their system of measurements instead).
