The foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters (12 inches) under the 1959 international yard and pound agreement. US construction, real estate, and aviation altitude all run on feet.

Precision and Rounding:Length factors between metric and imperial units are exact by definition (1 ft = 0.3048 m since 1959), so any rounding error comes from display precision, not the factor. Two or three decimal places suit carpentry and DIY work; machining and surveying often require four or more.
Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
