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.

About Centimeter (cm)

A metric unit of length equal to one hundredth of a meter (0.01 m), roughly the width of a standard pencil. Centimeters are the everyday metric-world unit for body measurements, clothing sizes, household items, and school rulers. Height, waist, and most paper sizes are expressed in centimeters in Europe, Asia, and Australia. In scientific work it bridges the gap between the too-small millimeter and the too-large meter for human-scale objects.
