50meter

50meter, often written as 50-meter or 50 m, denotes a length of 50 meters in the metric system. It is not a separate unit but a compound adjective used to describe something whose length is fifty meters.

In technical writing the preferred form is "50 m" for the measurement, with the hyphenated form "50-meter" used before a noun, as in "a 50-meter pool" or "a 50-meter vessel." The term appears across fields such as sports, engineering, architecture, and maritime contexts.

Common contexts include sports facilities, where a "50-meter pool" refers to a long-course pool used in international competition. In architecture and civil engineering, 50 meters may describe distances or dimensions in plans or structures. In maritime contexts, vessel length can be specified in meters, including lengths around 50 meters for certain ships and platforms.

Conversions are straightforward: one meter equals approximately 3.28084 feet, so 50 meters is about 164.042 feet. The term is widely used in international measurements and product specifications to convey a precise length.
