Anyway, Google Calculator come in handy to help you to quickly convert something to something else. No need to search for the websites which offer limited conversion unit anymore. To find 1.73 m (my 'estimated' height) meters in feet, just type "3 meter in feet" in the search box from the very first page on google.com and Search It!

Alternatively, you may try "3 meters in feet", "3 meter to foot", etc . Google will try it best to comprehend what you are typing and return you with the precise result.
