Reading metric plans and listings
European and Canadian drawings list dimensions in millimeters (a room might read 3600 × 4200), which is 3.6 × 4.2 m, or about 11′ 9 3/4″ × 13′ 9 3/8″. Convert the overall size, then round to a fraction — rounding each segment first can add up to an inch of error across a long wall.
A 25 m lap pool is 82 ft long; a 15 m garden hose is 49′ 2 9/16″ — shorter than the 50 ft hose it replaces.
