Explanation:

Identify the conversion factor between meters and feet

$$ 1\text{ m} \approx 3.28084\text{ ft} $$

Calculate the distance in feet

$$ 8\text{ m} \times 3.28084\text{ ft/m} = 26.24672\text{ ft} $$

Round to the nearest foot

$$ 26.24672\text{ ft} \approx 26\text{ ft} $$

Answer:

• The distance is approximately 27 feet.
