We've decided to reduce a certain number of conversion variables to make them fit in this tableau. Therefore, some values may not be exact, but they are within a certain degree of precision.

Length conversion chart

If you're trying to figure out how you can quickly switch between units within the same system, look at these two easy length conversion charts:

1. The measurement system the metric

For instance:

• 6 km = 6 * 1000 = 6000 m
• 180 cm = 180 / 100 = 1.8 m

1. The Imperial US measurement system. US measure system

For example:

• 5 yd = 5 * 3 = 15 ft
• 144 in = 144 / 12 = 12 ft

We've also decided to create an index of the most frequently used length conversions. The most popular ones are:

1. meters to feet/ feet-to-meters

If you're trying to figure out the number of feet in one meter, the following numbers can:

• 1 Meter 3.281 feet equivalent to 3 inches, which is equivalent to 3 inches.
• 1 foot equals 0.3048 Meter

1. inch to cmor inches to centimeters

Find out how many centimeters per inch.

• One centimeter 0.3937 inches
• 1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters

1. feet-to-inchesin inches

To convert between inches and feet make use of:

• 1 foot equals 12 inches
• One of 0.08333 feet 1/12 of one foot

1. yards to feet or yards from feet

How many feet of space can fit into the yard? Three!

• 1 yard = 3 feet
• 1 foot 0.3333 yards, 1/3 of one yard

1. feet to miles/ miles to miles

Have you ever thought about how many feet are in a mile?

• 1 foot 0.00018939 mile
• 1 yard = 5280 feet

Inch definition

The "inch" (abbreviate to mean "as in or ") is a measure of length that is used to describe the Imperial or the US the metric system. The word is derived from various definitions, such as the dimension of thumbs. In various dialects e.g. Norwegian, Afrikaans, Italian or French the term "inch" is derived from the word"thumb" at times and it's the same idea. From the 14th century onwards"inch" was defined as by King Edward I of England as a three grains of barley that was dry and round, placed between two ends in a lengthwise. The definition of an inch changed over the centuries, but by the 1950's, an international standard was established, and, since then the definition of an inch has been equivalent approximately 2.54 centimeters.

1 in = 2.54 cm

One inch is also equivalent to one-third of a yard. 1/12 of a foot is 1/6360 of a mile.

On a daily basis the use of inches is widespread across the US, UK, Canada and other countries that were once part of the British Empire. In addition, length, width , and width are measured the same manner, and also different sizes are measured in units that are which are made up of inches (e.g. the size of shoes).

What's measured in inches? Not only in the US however, but all over the world?

• Screen dimensions of smartphones, monitors, TVs (specifically dimension of diagonals of rectangular screens)
• resolution for screen PPI (pixels per inch)
• dimension of tire (e.g. bicycle or car wheels) e.g. car wheels or bicycle wheels,
• various instruments and pipe of varying dimensions
• Certain sports equipments employ the measurement in inches. e.g. is used for archery.
• within the science field, e.g. Acoustics in the field of science, e.g. Acoustics microphones, and the size of loudspeakers

The term "International inch" refers to: International inch is the equivalent to:

• 10,000 10ths
• 1,000 thou/mil
• 100 points , or Gries
• 72 PostScript points
• 6 computer picas
• 3 barleycorns
• 2.54 centimeters exactly
• 0.999998 US Survey inches
• 1/3 of 0.333 palms
• 1/4 to 0.25 hands
• 1/12, or 0.08333 feet
• 1/36 or 0.02777 yards

Feet definition

Foot (abbreviate in the form of "ft" (or ') can be described as one of the units for length that are part of the Imperial or US standard measurement system. It's a measurement built upon the body of a human, as the name suggests. The measurement was standardized in the 50s, and has since been equal to 0.3048 meters exactly:

1 ft = 0.3048 m = 304.8 mm

The usage of feet has been utilized since the beginning of time in various civilizations However, the length of the feet varied among these different cultures. The foot was utilized, e.g. in:

• Ancient Rome: 1 foot = 11.6 inches (295.7 mm). This was a standard foot , but in certain provinces, it could be as large at 13.2 inches (334 millimeters)
• Greece: 1 foot = 10.6-13.8 inches (270 - 350 millimeters)
• Indus cities in the Bronze Age: 1 foot equals 13.2 inches (333.5 millimeters)
• Egypt can be described as equivalent to twelve inches (304.8 millimeters)

The imperial public measure which isn't officially recognized. standards, Greenwich

The measurement of feet is in England The measurement of feet in England an alteration in the measurement of feet. England the measurement of feet was changed over time and was introduced first in Roman standards. Later, Belgic Celts foot of 13.2 inches or Welsh foot was introduced. Then it was taken away. The definition of feet varied from region to region, and city to city, and then the kings changed the definition in accordance with their own preferences. e.g., Henry I was believed to have created an entirely new standard which was inspired by his arm. In the following years, Edward II of England introduced some form of standardization and also established the statute foot, which was 10/11 shorter than the previous foot. It was decided that the finalisation of length for the foot came much later in 1959, after an International yard-and-pound agreement was signed into effect. Since then, the length of a yard is the same between United States and countries in the British Commonwealth is equal to precisely 0.9144 meters. At the time when yard was first defined in the first place feet could be calculated in the same way. This is equivalent to:

1 foot = (1/3) * yard = (1/3) * 0.9144 m = 0.3048 m

In the US two types of feet are used on a regular basis The international foot as well as the survey.

1. International footAlso known as"the standard" foot it was first standardized in the 1950s. It is used extensively across a variety of areas, and is equivalent of 0.3048 millimeters. International foot = 0.3048 millimeters and we've used the symbol to illustrate the significance of exactly the amount. The measurement used globally is equivalent to humans' feet, and is the dimensions thirteen (UK) and 14 (US male).
2. Survey foot This is the US survey foot. is almost identical in dimensions to that of earth. But, the word About is the most important . The definition of survey foot is exactly 1200/3937 m. That is what constitutes the most important thing. 1 US survey foot = 1200/3937 m 0,30480060960121920243840487680975... m As you can see, it looks to be a tiny variation - but something is changing at seven decimal places! It's only 0,609 mm, 609 nanometers when you compare the one type of foot to the other. What is the significance of this? The reason is that the variation is not significant when measuring smaller objects, but the difference becomes significant when we begin measuring hundreds of thousands of feet, like when we map or use an in-state coordinate system (SPCS). Additionally, the law that govern the survey foot differ across the 50 states.
   • 24 states have passed laws that state that surveys should be based upon the US survey foot. US survey feet is the sole used to survey.
   • Eight states have voted in favor of making the announcement in line with the global foot
   • 18 states don't have an exact percentage of percentage of conversion for the metric units. But don't fret about it if you're looking for conversions in your daily conveyances or surveying of your land. The difference is minimal for smaller lengths (less 1 mile) and it doesn't matter which definition you choose to use.
   There's a different measurement for the foot, which is the Indian survey foot . It's described as precisely 0.3047996 M: 1. Indian survey foot equals 0.3047996 m

Feet as well as the entire imperial system is extensively utilized throughout the US. It's nearly only used within the United States. The US is considered to be the only country industrialized that hasn't accepted that the International System of Units, often referred to as the measurement system using the measurement unit metric. Two other countries that use this system of measurement include Liberia within Africa within Africa within Africa as well as Myanmar (also known as Burma) in Southeast Asia. Canadians along with the British use a mix of two systems: metric and imperial (e.g. the height of men will usually be measured in feet , however, inches can also be used).

Feet aren't used extensively in non-English-speaking countries. One obvious example would be the measurement of the height of an aircraft in the world of international travel.

Meter definition

Meter (British English: metre) is the most basic length unit used for a variety of metrics, which includes those used by the International System of Units (SI).

Meter's definition was modified in the course of the way that scientific methods of measuring changed. The current definition is that it is the direction taken by light in a vacuum which is within 1/992,458 second.

What was its definition at its time of being first established?

• The initial tests of how to define the term "meter" began in 1790. In 1790, it was decided that the French National Assembly decided that the length of the new meter should be equal to the length of the pendulum, and for the interval, one second.. Find out the exactness of this number by making use of our calculator for pendulums. Input the number 2 into the pendulum's duration box, and you'll be able to determine how long the pendulum. In actuality, it's close to the one meters (0.993621 millimeters).

• In 1973, the circumference of Earth was selected as an unambiguous reference point. "Meter" was the term used to describe "meter" was used to refer to one-ten-millionth of the distance from the equator and North Pole. North Pole: 1 meter is one 10th of the quarter meridional radius of Earth which runs along the meridian that runs between Earth and Paris
• In the years 1799-1889, and in 1889, brass, platinum, and the mix of 10% platinum and Iridium meter bars were created, using an alloy that ran the length of the meridian on Earth. This was 1st General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1889 that which established meters as the length that is measured between the two parallel lines in a typical bar made of this type of alloy. The International Prototype Meter is kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures located in Sevres close to Paris. The definition of meter was used from 1960 , until the 11th General Conference on Weights and Measures.
• Between 1960 and 1983, the meters were modified in during the decade of 1960. The name was changed to 1,650,763.73 wavelengths that were derived from the radiation orange-red Krypton86 under certain conditions.
• 17th Conference defined"meter" in the 17th Conference to mean 1/299,792,458 as a reference to the amount of light that travels in one second. This definition of the meter is used up to the current.

The table below provides a time-line of the definition of meter (by Cardarelli, 2003).

Imperial (US) measure system. US measurement system

In the US The Imperial US measurement system and as US measurement systems aren't exactly the identical, however for length measurements, they're similar (they differ in terms of volume measurements, which means e.g. the cup could contain some floz, which is different in the measurement system used by both). The only countries that didn't accept the metric system were those from those of the US, Liberia and Myanmar.

The six most frequently utilized US length units (also called imperial length units) were included in our length converter:

• the thousandth portion of an inch (mil / the thousandth part of an inch (mil /),
• Inches (in),
• feet (ft),
• inches and feet
• yards (yd),
• miles (mi).

There are two additional length units, however we've excluded them in the length converter on purpose: The term "furlong" refers to the fact that the "furlong's conversion ratio isn't clearly defined, as well as the word "league" is the one most commonly commonly used measurement throughout Europe throughout Europe as well as Latin America but is no any longer an official measurement across any region. But, you can locate these units below, as well as the most commonly used values:

Metric measurement system

The measurement system metric , often referred to as"the International System of Units (SI) employs an international decimal-based system of weights and measurements. It is extensively utilized across the globe (apart from the 3 countries mentioned in the preceding paragraphs.) It is easy to understand, practical and useful. Four units of the measurements in metric are:

• meters ( m) for length,
• kg ( kg) for mass (check out this conversion of weight),
• Second ( s) for time,
• ampere (A) for electromagnetism.

In addition there are 22 derivative units with their own names can be found. They can be classified into five categories:
