Foot: A Unit of Length

The foot (ft) is a unit of length used in the US customary system, which is one of the systems of measurement used in the United States and some other countries. The foot is equal to 12 inches or 0.3048 meter. The foot is also a derived unit in the imperial system, which is the official system of measurement for the United Kingdom and some other Commonwealth countries. The symbol for foot is ft or ′. The foot is used for measuring short distances and dimensions, such as the height of a person or the width of a door. The foot is named after the human foot, which was used as a standard of measurement in ancient times. In this article, we will explore the definition, history, usage and conversion of the foot as a unit of length.

How to Convert Foot

The US customary system is a system of measurement that uses units such as inch, yard, mile, ounce, pound, gallon, etc. The US customary system is based on the English system of measurement that was used before the adoption of the metric system.

To convert foot to other units of length in the US customary system, we need to know the relationship between foot and other units. Here are some common units and their equivalent values in feet:

  • 1 inch = 1/12 foot
  • 1 yard = 3 feet
  • 1 mile = 5280 feet
  • 1 fathom = 6 feet
  • 1 rod = 16.5 feet
  • To convert foot to any of these units, we need to multiply or divide by the appropriate factor. For example, to convert 10 feet to inches, we need to multiply by 12:

    10 feet x 12 = 120 inches

    To convert 10 feet to miles, we need to divide by 5280:

    10 feet / 5280 = 0.00189 miles

    To convert 10 feet to fathoms, we need to divide by 6:

    10 feet / 6 = 1.667 fathoms

    To convert 10 feet to rods, we need to divide by 16.5:

    10 feet / 16.5 = 0.606 rods

    The SI system (or International System of Units) is a system of measurement that uses units such as meter, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole, candela, etc. The SI system is based on the metric system that was developed in France in the late 18th century.

    To convert foot to other units of length in the SI system, we need to know the relationship between foot and meter. The meter is the base unit of length in the SI system and it is defined as “the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299792458 seconds.” One foot is equal to 0.3048 meters.

    To convert foot to any other unit of length in the SI system, we need to multiply or divide by the appropriate power of ten and add a prefix. Here are some common units and their equivalent values in meters:

  • 1 kilometer = 1000 meters
  • 1 centimeter = 0.01 meter
  • 1 millimeter = 0.001 meter
  • 1 micrometer = 0.000001 meter
  • 1 nanometer = 0.000000001 meter
  • To convert foot to any of these units, we need to multiply by the appropriate factor and add a prefix.

    Kilometer - Unit of Distance / Length

    Unit Symbol / Abbreviation: km

    Where the unit used in the World:

    The kilometer is used as a unit used to measure distances or lengths.
    It's a standard measure for travelled distances, geographical distances and maps in most countries excluding the USA and the United Kingdom where mile is still used for this purpose.
    between geographical locations on land, and in most countries is the official unit for this purpose. Primary exceptions are the United Kingdom, Liberia, Myanmar and the United States of America, where the mile remains as standard as a part of imperial system.

    Definition of the Unit:

    The kilometer (kilometre in UK spelling) is a unit of length/distance in the metric system (SI Unit system) equivalent to one thousand meters.

    1 km is equivalent to 0.62137 miles.

    Equivalents in other units and scales:

    • 1 km = 1000000 millimeters (mm)
    • 1 km = 100 000 centimeters (cm)
    • 1 km = 10000 decimeters (dm)
    • 1 km = 1000 meters (m)
    • 1 km = 3280.84 feet (ft)
    • 1 megameter = 1000 km
    • 1 gigameter = 1000000 km
    • 1 mile = 1.609 km
    • 1 yard = 0.000914 km
    • 1 foot = 0.000305 km
    • 1 inch = 0.0000254 km
    • Units of length in the metric SI system are based on multiples or fractions of a meter.
    • There are measurements of length/distance in the metric SI system greater than a kilometer that can be expressed in terms of kilometres.

    1 km is equivalent to 0.621371 mi.

    The kilometer is unit of length in the metric SI system and is equivalent to one thousand metres.
