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].
Facts about Kilometer
Basic facts: A kilometer is a unit of length in the metric system, its symbol is “km”, it is equivalent to one thousand meters and 0.6214 miles. [kilo- is the SI prefix for 1000]. A slang term for the kilometer in the US, Canadian, and UK, militaries is “klick”.
History: The origin of the kilometer is related to that of the meter, and its present definition is the distance traveled by light in 1/299 792 458 seconds. The relationship between the meter and the kilometer will remain constant, although the above-mentioned definition is subject to change.
Use: Currently, it is the official unit of measurement for expressing distances between the world’s most geographical places on land. Though, there still remain some countries that mainly use the mile instead of the kilometer including the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US). The UK has adopted the metric system, unlike the United States, while in the UK, the metric system is widely used in government, industry, and commerce, rests of the imperial system can still be seen in the United Kingdom’s use of miles in its road systems.
