We've decided to cut down some of the variables for conversion to part of this table. Thus, some numbers may not be precise, but they do offer an aforementioned degree of precision.

Length conversion chart

If you're trying to find a way to swiftly switch between units within this system take a look at these length charts:

1. A measurement method is a measurer.

Let's examine an illustration

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

1. Measurements in Imperial US measures system. US measure system

For instance:

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

We've also decided that we should make a list of the most often requested length conversions. The most common ones you'll find are:

• 1 foot 0.00018939 mile
• 1 yard = 5280 feet

Inch definition

The "inch" (abbreviate which means "or ") is an measurement of length in the Imperial or US measurement system known as metric. The word is used in a variety of ways as well as the width of the thumb. In certain languages e.g. Norwegian, Afrikaans, Italian or French the word "inch" originates from the word "thumb" or, in certain instances, it's the exact concept. From the 14th century to the present day, the term inch was defined during the reign of King Edward I. England through the definition of three grains of barley that were dry and round, placed between their ends in a long-wise. An inch's definition was changed up to the 1950's, when an international standard for usage was established . Since then"inches" is 2.54 centimeters.

1 in = 2.54 cm

One inch is equal to one third of one yard. 1/12 of a foot or 1/6360 of one mile.

In a typical way, inches are commonly used across a variety of countries, including those in the US, UK, Canada and numerous other nations that once belonged to the British Empire. Along with width, length and length are measured in different dimensions. They are also measured in units of inches (e.g. the dimensions of shoes).

What's measured in inches? It's not only for the US but for the rest of the world?

• Dimensions of the screen of smartphones, monitors TVs, and monitors (specifically dimensions of dimensions of the diagonals on rectangular screen)
• resolution for screens PPI (pixels per inch)
• dimensions of tires size of tire e.g. wheels for bicycles or automobiles,
• diverse instruments and pipes of different dimensions
• Certain sports equipments employ the equivalent of an inch. e.g. for archery.
• within the field that of scientific research e.g. Acoustics within the realm of science, for instance. The Acoustics microphones are a good example, as are sizes of the loudspeakers.

The phrase "International inch" refers to: International inch is the equivalent of:

• 10,000 10ths of one 10th
• 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 or 0.333 palms
• 1/4, or 0.25 hands
• 1/12 (1/12) or 0.08333 feet
• 1/36 or 0.02777 yards

Feet definition

The word foot (abbreviate to "ft," or ') can be described as one of the measurement units used within the Imperial or US standard measurement system. It's a measurement made on the body of a person just like the name suggests. It was standardized in the 50s and continues to be used in the form of 0.3048 meters exactly:

1 ft = 0.3048 m = 304.8 mm

The use of feet been in use since the beginning of time across diverse cultures, but the length of a foot varied among different cultures. The foot was used, e.g. in:

• Ancient Rome: 1 foot = 11.6 inches (295.7 mm). This was the norm size for a foot, however in certain provinces, it could be even larger, at 13.2 inches (334 millimeters)
• Greece: 1 foot = 10.6-13.8 inches (270 - 350 millimeters)
• Indus cities during the Bronze Age: 1 foot equals 13.2 inches (333.5 millimeters)
• Egypt refers to the equivalent to twelve inches (304.8 millimeters)

The public measure that is imperial and isn't recognized by official. standards, Greenwich

The measurement of the foot used in all of England Measurement of foot is used throughout England. England the foot measurement also changed over the years starting with Roman standards. Then Belgic Celts foot of 13.2 inches or Welsh foot was introduced and later, it was removed. The definition of feet differed between cities and regions as well as from city to city, and later the kings changed the measurement in accordance with their personal preferences. e.g., Henry I was believed to have ordered the creation of a new norm, which was inspired from his arms. In the following years, Edward II of England introduced the concept of standardization. In 1959, the statute foot was first introduced in the year 1959, and was 10/11 less than the previous foot. Finalization on the length of this foot became known in 1959 in the wake of the International yard-and pound agreement that was signed. Since then, the yard length within the United States and countries in the British Commonwealth is equal to precisely 0.9144 meters. In the beginning, when yard-length was defined as well as foot length became an factor, this was possible to be calculated as well. Similar to:

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

In the US Two types of feet are commonly used on a daily basis. This is the international foot along with the standard foot.

1. World footAlso known as the standard foot, it first became standardized in the 50s. It is used extensively across various fields. It's equivalent to 0.3048 meters 1 . International foot 0.3048 millimeters, and we've utilized the symbol to convey the significance of the number. The measure used internationally is equivalent to a human foot measuring 13 inches wide (UK) and the equivalent size that is 14 inches (US male).
2. Survey foot This corresponds to this is the US feet of the survey. It is nearly identical in size and form to the bottom of Earth. But it is not the same size and shape as the Earth's bottom. Nearly is the main . The definition of survey foot is exactly 1200/3937 meters 1 US survey foot = 1200/3937 m 0,30480060960121920243840487680975... m You'll notice that it may appear to be a tiny change, but it's an enormous difference within seven decimal places! It's less than 0,609 millimeters 609 nanometers when comparing one foot type with the other. What's the reason to care? It's crucial since the distinction isn't major when comparing objects with small dimensions. But, the distinction becomes significant once we start measuring several thousand feet when we map or use the State-Plane Coordinate System (SPCS). Furthermore, the law regarding the scope of the survey differs among the 50 states.
   • States of 24 signed laws that stipulate that measures to be taken for surveying must be based on US survey feet. US foot survey is the feet used to survey.
   • Eight states have voted to adopt the decision in line with the world foot
   • 18 states are still to define the ratio of the conversion in relation to measurement units. Don't be concerned every time you require the conversion in order for your everyday conveyances or to conduct surveys of your property. The difference isn't that important for smaller distances (less less than 1 mile) and it doesn't matter what you decide to define.
   Another measurement of the foot is known as the Indian survey foot . It's described as precisely 0.3047996 M: 1. Indian survey foot equals 0.3047996 meters

Feet and the entire imperial system are widely used throughout the US. The only exception is within the US. The US is regarded as being the only industrialized country in the world which hasn't adopted its International System of Units, which is known as the measurement system in measurements that use the metric unit. Two other nations that employ the measurement system are Liberia and Africa in Africa and Africa and Myanmar (also called Burma) that is situated within Southeast Asia. Canadians and the British use two different systems: imperial and the metric system. (e.g. the height of men is typically measured in feet, however inches can also be used).

Feet aren't widely utilized in nations that aren't english-speaking. One of the most obvious examples is the measurement of the elevation of an aircraft in the international travel industry.

Meter definition

Meter (British English: metre) is the most popular length unit, which is utilized in a variety of metrics including those used in the International System of Units (SI).

Meter's definition was altered due to the way in which the scientific method for measuring change. The definition of the word "meter" is it is the direction in which light travels in an atmosphere of vacuum. That's 1.99,792,458 seconds.

What was its definition throughout the decades?

• The first experiments with the definition of meter began in 1790. In 1790-1790 The French National Assembly decided that the length of the new meter would have to be equal to its length as a pendulum, along with one half second. You can test the accuracy of this figure using the pendulum calculator. You can enter "2 " in the duration box of the pendulum and you'll be able to determine how long the pendulum will last. Actually, it's only a meters (0.993621 meters).

• In 1973, the circumference of Earth was selected as a clear reference point. "Meter" was the term used to describe it "meter" was used to refer to one-tenth of the distance that runs from the equator to North Pole. North Pole: 1 meter is one tenth of the meridional circumference of Earth that is located on the meridian, which is the link between Paris to Paris. Earth and Paris
• From 1799 to 1889 during the period from 1799 up to 1889-1799. the elements of platinum, brass and the alloy of platinum and 10 percent iridium were created to make the element that could be used as a base for the length of Earth's meridian. This was accomplished in the 1st General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1889, where the term "meter" refers to the length of two parallel lines in the typical bar made of this alloy. It is the International Prototype Meter is housed in the International Bureau of Weights and Measures located at Sevres close to Paris. The term "meter" was first employed in 1960, and continued to be used until in the 11th General Conference on Weights and Measures.
• Between 1960 between 1960 and 1983, the meters were overhauled during between 1960 and the year. The name was changed to 1,650,763.73 wavelengths. They were derived from Krypton86. Krypton86 at certain times.
• 17th Conference defined"meter" to be 1/299,792,458 to be a measure of the quantity of light that travels each hour. Its definition of the term "meter" is in force through the present.

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

The Imperial (US) measure system. US measurement system

It's also referred to as Imperial. US measurement system and measurement systems used in the US measurements aren't quite match, however, in the measurement of length , they're similar (they differ in the measurement of volume and volume in this case, meaning e.g. the cup could have the quantity of floz, which differs between measurements methods). The only nations that didn't recognize the standard metric system were that included which included the US, Liberia and Myanmar.

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

• One millimeter (mil or one thousandth of an inch (mil/thou),
• Inches (in),
• feet (ft),
• feet and inches
• yards (yd),
• miles (mi).

There are two additional length units, however , they're not part of the length converter on purpose: The term "furlong" refers to the fact that the "furlong"'s conversion ratio isn't generally understood as well as the word league was the most widely used measurement in Europe across Europe and Latin America but is no anymore an official measurement across any region. However, you'll be able to find these units below and they are the most commonly used values:

Unit	Comparatively to the prior	Feet	Millimeters	Meters
Thous (th)		1/12000	0.0254	0.0000254
inch (in)	1000 thou	1/12	25.4	0.0254

Metric measurement system

The measurement system used in the metric system, commonly referred to as"the International System of Units (SI) is an international decimal system which is used to determine weights and measurement. It is widely utilized all over the globe (apart from the 3 nations which were discussed in the previous paragraphs.) It is simple to use, practical, and effective. The four units of measurement in the measurement system used for measurement 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.

There are also 22 derivative units that are named for them. They are divided in five groups:

1. Electromagnetism
