Feet to Millimeters Conversion
It is a conversion calculator that is used to convert the values from feet (ft) to millimeters (mm). It has two control switches and a single text field. The results are displayed below the "Convert" and "Reset" buttons indicating the method used in the calculation.
The two control buttons are used to perform different functions of the calculator during the conversions. The first procedure is to enter the value in feet in the single text field at the top platform of the calculator. Click the "Convert" button which displays your results in millimeters below the two controls.
For example;
Convert 100 feet to millimeters
Solution
You will first enter the value 100 in the required text field. Click the "Convert" to execute the conversion. The results will be displayed as;
Millimeters result: 30480mm
Meters + mm result: 30m 480 mm

You can always repeat the same procedure with different values. Before performing new calculations, click on the "Reset" button. It is the fastest way of erasing all the previous data from the text fields to give enough space for new conversions.
Formula of converting the values in feet to millimeters
The calculator uses a particular formula in performing the conversions from feet (ft) to millimeters (mm). The formula is indicated as;
1 ft = 304.8 mm, which means that one foot is equivalent to 304.8 millimeters.
Therefore, the distance in millimeters (mm) is calculated by multiplying the distance in feet by 304.8.
For example;
Convert 3 feet to millimeters
D (mm) = 3 ft x 304.8 = 914.4mm
This calculator can only perform conversions from feet to meters and not the reverse. It is important to know that the calculator provides accurate results depending on the values entered in the text field. Using wrong values will give you varied results.
