Unit History
About kilometers
The kilometer was established following the definition of the meter, representing exactly 1,000 meters. It quickly became a standard for measuring longer distances, such as those between cities or geographic landmarks. Most countries that use the metric system rely on kilometers to indicate road and travel distances.
About feet
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.
