Facts about Foot
Basic facts: A foot is a unit of length in the US customary and imperial systems of measurement, its symbol is (ft). in 1959, a foot was represented as precisely 0.3048 meters. 1 foot contains 12 inches, and 1 yard is comprised of 3 feet.
History: The measurement of the foot was used in many different systems including the Roman, Greek, English, French and Chinese systems, varying in length between each. This was prior to the standardization of units of measurement, and the definition of the foot presently in use. Historically, parts of the human body were used as a basis for units of length [like the cubit, hand, digit, span, and many others, sometimes called anthropic units], therefore various lengths existed. Compared to the present definition of 304.8 mm, the measurement of a foot varied between 250 mm and 335 mm in the past. The United States is one of the few, countries in which the foot is still used widely. Prior to metrication, many countries used their own version of the foot.
Use: The foot is predominantly used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, for many daily applications. In the United States, feet, and inches are typically used to measure shorter distances, height, field length [sometimes in the form of yards], etc. Feet are also commonly used to measure altitude [in aviation] as well as elevation [such as that of a mountain]. The international foot corresponds to human feet with shoe size 14 [US male], 13 [UK], 15.5 [US female], or 46 [EU].
Fact about Yard
Basic facts: A yard [symbol: yd] is a unit of length in both the US customary and British imperial systems of measurement. A yard has been defined as exactly 0.9144 meters since 1959, It is also equivalent to 3 feet, or 36 inches.
History: The origin of the yard is not quite certain. A yard is an English unit [predecessor of imperial units] the term “yard” derives from the Old English gerd, gyrd, etc., which was used for staves, branches, and measuring rods. some suggest that it initially derived from the girth of a person’s waist, while others consider it originated as a cubic measure.
Use: The yard is generally used in field-length measurement for specific sports like American and Canadian football, and association football [soccer]. The yard sometimes is used in golf fairway measurements and it is also used in cricket pitch dimensions. In the United Kingdom as well as the United States, the yard is often used when referring to distance. In the United Kingdom, it is also a legal condition that road signs marking shorter distances are displayed in yards.
