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 Meter (m) or (mtr) is used for everyday measurements like room dimensions (3-4 meters), the height of a door (2 meters), or the length of a car (4-5 meters). It's also used in sports, such as the height of a basketball hoop (3.05 meters).
To convert between Fathom (ftm) and Meter (m), use the following formulas:
1 Fathom (ftm) = 1.8288 Meter (m)
1 Meter (m) = 0.5468066491688539 Fathom (ftm)
1 ftm = 1 * 1.8288 m = 1.8288 m
5 ftm = 5 * 1.8288 m = 9.144 m
10 ftm = 10 * 1.8288 m = 18.288 m
20 ftm = 20 * 1.8288 m = 36.576 m
50 ftm = 50 * 1.8288 m = 91.44 m
100 ftm = 100 * 1.8288 m = 182.88 m
