Unit History
About yards
The yard is an old English unit that was eventually standardized in England under various monarchs. Today, it remains part of the US customary and British imperial systems. Though not as widely used as the meter internationally, yards are still frequently referenced in certain sports (like American football) and in casual measurements within the US and UK.
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.
