The Fathom remains vital in maritime navigation, measuring water depth and anchor chains. One fathom equals 6 feet. For reference, recreational scuba divers typically explore depths of 10-20 fathoms (60-120 feet), while the Titanic rests at about 1,200 fathoms (7,200 feet) below sea level. The Foot (ft) is commonly used in the United States and other countries for measuring medium distances. For example, the height of a table is about 3 feet, a door is usually 6.5 feet tall, and a basketball hoop is 10 feet high. It’s widely used in construction, real estate, and everyday life.
To convert between Fathom (ftm) and Foot (ft), use the following formulas:
1 Fathom (ftm) = 6 Foot (ft)
1 Foot (ft) = 0.16666666666666669 Fathom (ftm)
1 ftm = 1 * 6 ft = 6 ft
5 ftm = 5 * 6 ft = 30 ft
10 ftm = 10 * 6 ft = 60 ft
20 ftm = 20 * 6 ft = 120 ft
50 ftm = 50 * 6 ft = 300 ft
100 ftm = 100 * 6 ft = 600 ft
