Unit History
About inches
The inch, once based on the width of a human thumb, is now precisely 2.54 centimeters. Alongside feet, it remains common in the US, Canada, and the UK for many small-scale measurements, such as monitor screens, tool sizes, and parts in home-improvement stores. Its standardized conversion makes it simpler to toggle between customary and metric systems.

The foot is an ancient unit of measurement found in multiple civilizations, although it eventually became standardized at exactly 0.3048 meters. It persists in everyday usage in the United States and in some technical contexts (like altitude in aviation). Its convenience lies in its simplicity for measuring room dimensions or personal height.
