History/Origin
Originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole through Paris, the meter has undergone several refinements. The current definition using the speed of light was adopted in 1983.
Current Use
The meter is the fundamental unit of length used worldwide in science, commerce, and everyday measurements. It forms the basis for all other metric measurements of length.
Feet
Definition
A foot (symbol: ft) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, equal to 12 inches or exactly 0.3048 meters.
History/Origin
The foot has ancient origins, originally based on the length of a human foot. It was standardized over time, with the current definition established in 1959 with the international yard and pound agreement.
Current Use
The foot is widely used in the United States and to a lesser extent in the UK for measuring height, distance, and in construction. It remains the standard unit for aviation altitude measurements worldwide.
