About Foot (ft)

An imperial unit of length equal to 12 inches (0.3048 meters exactly). Although most countries have moved to the metric system, the foot remains the international aviation standard for altitude — flight levels are quoted in hundreds of feet worldwide — and is the primary unit in US construction blueprints, real estate listings, surveying, and everyday height measurement in the US and UK. A foot divides into 12 inches and three feet make a yard, reflecting the base-12 heritage of English measurement.

About Yard (yd)

An imperial unit of length equal to 3 feet (0.9144 meters). The yard anchors American football field measurements (100 yards between goal lines), fabric and textile cutting, landscaping supplies (cubic yards of soil or mulch), and golf course distances. Historically derived from the stride of a king and later standardized by treaty between the US and UK in 1959, the yard is still the preferred unit in construction estimating and sports broadcasting throughout the imperial-using world.
