What are Inch and Foot
Definition of Inch
An inch, denoted by in or ", is a unit of length in the Imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. Historically, an inch was based on the width of a human thumb, but it has since been standardized to exactly 1/12th of a foot. Today, an inch is widely used and recognized globally, particularly in the United States, and is equal to 25.4 millimeters according to the international yard agreement of 1959.
Definition of Foot
A foot, symbolized by ft, is a unit of length in the Imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. It represents one-third of a yard and comprises 12 inches. The foot is a historically important unit, with its length having varied slightly through different periods and cultures. In most modern contexts, however, it is defined to be exactly 0.3048 meters by international agreement in 1959, making it a standard unit for measuring length, particularly in the United States.
