We've decided that we should reduce some of the factors that affect conversion to work with this table. So, some values may not be precise, but they're within a certain range of accuracy.

Length conversion chart

When you're trying to find a way you can quickly change units within the same system take a look at these two straightforward length charts conversions:

1. It is the measure system used to measure 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 instance:

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

We've also put together an index of the most frequently asked length converters. The most commonly requested ones are:

Inch definition

The "inch" (abbreviate which means "or ") is a measurement of length employed to define what is known as the Imperial or the US in the system of metric. The word can be defined in many ways, including the size of the thumb. In several different languages e.g. Norwegian, Afrikaans, Italian or French the term "inch" originates from the word "thumb" at times, it's the same idea. Since the 14th century,"inches" were established during the reign of King Edward I. England by the definition of three barley grains which were round and dry and put between the ends of the length. An inch's definition has changed over time, but in the 1950's, a global standard was established and, ever since the 1950's, an inch has been exactly 2.54 centimeters.

1 in = 2.54 cm

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

On a daily basis , the use of inches is widespread across countries such as those of the US, UK, Canada and many more nations which were once part of the British Empire. Along with length, width and length are both measured in different dimensions. They also are measured in units that are taken from inches (e.g. the dimensions of a shoe).

What is measured in inches? Not only within the US however, but all over the globe?

• Dimensions of screens of monitors, smartphones televisions, monitors and other TVs (specifically dimension of dimensions of the diagonals of a rectangular screen)
• Resolution of the screen PPI (pixels per inch)
• measurements of tire dimensions of tire e.g. bicycle or car wheels
• many instruments and pipe of different dimensions
• Certain sports equipments are measured in inches. e.g. to shoot archery.
• within the realm of science, e.g. Acoustics in science, e.g. Acoustics microphones, as well as the size of speakers

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

• 10,000 10ths of a tenth
• 1,000 thou/mil
• 100 points , tears or even tears
• 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 = 0.08333 feet
• 1/36 or 0.02777 yards

Feet definition

Foot (abbreviate in the form of "ft" or ") is a type of length that is used as part of the Imperial or US standard measurement system. It's a measurement that is based on the human body, as the name implies. This measurement was initially standardized in the 50s and, since it was standardized, it's now equivalent to 0.3048 meters precisely:

1 ft = 0.3048 m = 304.8 mm

The use of feet has been used since the beginning of time across various civilizations. The length of feet varied between civilizations. Foot was used for various purposes, e.g. in:

• Ancient Rome: 1 foot = 11.6 inches (295.7 mm). It was a normal foot however, in certain regions it could be larger that 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 could be defined as equivalent to twelve inches (304.8 millimeters)

The official imperial measurement of the public that is not accepted by the official standards, Greenwich

The measurement of feet extensively used across England and the measurements of feet is utilized in England England The measurement for feet also changed with the ages, starting with Roman standards, and later Belgic Celts foot of 13.2 inches or Welsh foot was introduced however, it was removed later. The foot measurement varied across regions and cities to city, and then the kings altered the measurement to fit their needs as e.g., Henry I was believed to have imposed the creation of a brand new standard which was in the spirit of his arm. In the years following, Edward II of England introduced some form of standardization. He also introduced a statute foot, which was 10/11 shorter than the foot before. It was decided that the proper length for the foot would come around the year 1959 following the International yard-and-pound convention was signed. Since it was signed, the length of 1 yard across the United States and countries in the British Commonwealth is equal to the exact measurement of 0.9144 meters. At the time that yard measurement was established in the beginning , feet could also be measured. Similar to:

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

In the US two types of feet are employed on a regular basis. They are the global foot as well as the survey.

1. The foot internationalAlso called"the"standard" foot. It was initially standardized in the 1950s. It is used extensively across various fields. It's the equivalent of 0.3048 metres 1 . International foot 0.3048 millimeters. We've employed the symbol to illustrate exactly how much. The measure used worldwide is identical to humans feet, which is the dimensions 13 (UK) or fourteen (US male).
2. Survey foot It is the US survey foot. is almost like in size and form as the bottom of Earth. However, the word Nearly is the most important . The definition of survey foot is precisely 1200/3937 meters. 1 US survey foot = 1200/3937 m 0,30480060960121920243840487680975... m As you will see, it appears like a tiny difference, but something is more noticeable when you're closer to the 7th decimal! It's just 0,609 mm 609 nanometers when you compare the kind of foot you've got with the other. Why is this important? This is important since this distinction isn't crucial when measuring tiny objects, but it is significant when we begin measuring thousands of feet, as when mapping or using SPCS which is the State Plane Coordinate System (SPCS). Further the law that governs the foot survey is different across fifty states.
   • The laws of the 24 states specify that the tools employed for surveying have to be built on the US feet of surveys. US foot of survey
   • Eight states have voted to make the decision , in accordance to the global foot
   • 18 states don't have a particular rate for conversion on the basis of the metrics units. However, don't be concerned about this if there's a the need of conversion for your usual conveyances or when you're conducting a survey on land. The difference isn't that important for smaller dimensions (less one mile) but it's irrelevant what definition you choose to apply.
   There's another measurement of the foot. This is the Indian survey foot . It's described as precisely 0.3047996 M: 1. Indian survey feet equals 0.3047996 meters

Feet and the entire imperial system are extensively utilized within the US. It's not just a matter of time. The US is believed to be the sole industrialized nation on the planet that has not implemented the International System of Units, also known as the measurement system of the measurement unit metric. Two other countries that use this system of measurement include Liberia situated in Africa within Africa in Africa, and Myanmar (also also known as Burma) situated within Southeast Asia. Canadians as well as the British make use of a mix of two systems: imperial as well as the system of metric (e.g. men's heights are typically expressed in feet , however inches could also be used).

Feet aren't widely used in nations that don't have native English speakers. One obvious example could be the use of elevation on aircrafts in the travel industry globally.

Meter definition

Meter (British English: metre) is the fundamental length unit that is used to measure a wide range of things that are used in the International System of Units (SI).

The definition of "meter" was changed as the techniques of measuring that have been scientifically developed. The definition of the term "meter" is what is the direction light travels through a vacuum. This is 1/99,792,458 sec.

What was its meaning at the time when it was when it was first established?

• The first experiments with the definition of meter were conducted in 1790. In 1790, it was found to be the case that French National Assembly decided that the length of the new meter was to be similar as that of the pendulum plus one-second of half-period. Find out the exactitude of this figure using the aid of our pendulum calculator. Enter your number into the pendulum's duration box , and you'll see the length of the pendulum. It's actually only a few meters (0.993621 metres).

• In 1973, the circumference Earth was selected as a clear reference point. "Meter" was the term that was used to describe "meter" was used to describe one-tenth of distance between the Equator to the northern pole. North Pole: 1 meter is one-tenth of the meridional radius of Earth that runs across the meridian line that connects Paris with Paris and Earth and Paris
• 1799-1889, from 1799 to 1889, between 1799 and 1889 the alloy of platinum, brass and the alloy of 10 platinum and Iridium bars were developed on an alloy that was covered up to the meridian that runs through the Earth. In the 1st General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1889, they established that"meter" could be defined in terms of "meter" as the length that runs in between two parallel lines of the normal bar made of this alloy. The International Prototype Meter is housed in the International Bureau of Weights and Measures situated in Sevres just outside of Paris. The term "meter" was utilized up to the year 1960, when it became the norm after the 11th General Conference on Weights and Measures.
• Between the years 1960 and 1983, meters were overhauled during that decade. Then, it was changed to 1,650,763.73 wavelengths which were the result of the radiation red orange Krypton86 under certain conditions.
• 17th Conference defined"meter" at 1/299,792,458 of the distance light travels within a second. the definition for the term "meter" is in effect until the present.

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

Imperial (US) measurement system. US measurement system

The Imperial measurements system used to measure length in The US measuring system and measurements systems in US measurement systems, don't work the same , however for length measurements , they're the exact measurements (they differ in terms of volume measurements. This means e.g. that the cup could have the quantity of floz that is different from the measurement system). The only countries that did not accept the metrics were those of Liberia, the US, Liberia and Myanmar.

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

• 1 millionths or an inch (mil equivalent to one millionth of an inch (mil or one thousandth of an inch (mil),
• Inches (in),
• feet (ft),
• feet and inches
• yards (yd),
• miles (mi).

There are two additional length units, however , we've removed these out of the length converter on purpose: The term "furlong" refers to the fact that the length of one length of an inch's convert ratio isn't believed to be well-defined and the word league is the most widely utilized measurement in Europe in Europe and Latin America but is no ever a recognized measurement of any one of the above. However, you can find these units in the following table along with the most commonly used values:

Unit	In comparison to the previous	Feet	Millimeters	Meters
Thous (th)		1/12000	0.0254	0.0000254
