How to convert

1 foot (ft) = 30.48 centimeter (cm). Foot (ft) is a unit of Length used in Standard system. Centimeter (cm) is a unit of Length used in Metric system.

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.

    Centimeter: A Unit of Length

    The centimeter (cm) is a unit of length in the metric system, which is the most widely used system of measurement in the world. The centimeter is equal to one hundredth of a meter, which is the SI base unit of length. The centimeter is also a derived unit in the International System of Units (SI), which is the official system of measurement for science and engineering. The symbol for centimeter is cm. The centimeter is used for measuring small distances and dimensions, such as the width of a fingernail or the diameter of a coin. The centimeter is also used for measuring areas and volumes, such as the area of a sheet of paper or the volume of a water bottle. The centimeter is named after the centi prefix, which means one hundredth in Latin. In this article, we will explore the definition, history, usage and conversion of the centimeter as a unit of length.

      How to Convert Centimeter

      The centimeter can be converted to other units of length by using conversion factors or formulas. Here are some examples of how to convert centimeters to other units of length in the SI system, the US customary system and other systems:

    • To convert centimeters to millimeters, multiply by 10. For example, 10 cm = 10 × 10 = 100 mm.
    • To convert centimeters to meters, divide by 100. For example, 10 cm = 10 / 100 = 0.1 m.
    • To convert centimeters to kilometers, divide by 100000. For example, 10 cm = 10 / 100000 = 0.0001 km.
    • To convert centimeters to inches, multiply by 0.3937. For example, 10 cm = 10 × 0.3937 = 3.937 in.
    • To convert centimeters to feet, multiply by 0.0328. For example, 10 cm = 10 × 0.0328 = 0.328 ft.
    • To convert centimeters to yards, multiply by 0.0109. For example, 10 cm = 10 × 0.0109 = 0.109 yd.
    • To convert centimeters to miles, multiply by 0.0000062137. For example, 10 cm = 10 × 0.0000062137 = 0.000062137 mi.
    • To convert centimeters to nanometers, multiply by 10000000. For example, one cm = one × 10000000 = 10000000 nm.
    • To convert centimeters to micrometers, multiply by 10000. For example, one cm = one × 10000 = 10000 µm.
    Centimeters also can be marked as centimetres.
