We use different units to measure the shape of an object like meters, centimeters, inches, feet, etc. It depends on the size or shape of the object to find the appropriate unit of measurement. For example: cm is the appropriate unit of measurement for measuring the height of a pencil. Similarly, to measure the height of a chair, foot is the appropriate unit of measurement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">There are two systems of measurement: the metric system and the imperial system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">The metric system includes meters, centimeters, etc., whereas the imperial system includes foot, inches, yards, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"0-what-is-foot\">What is Foot?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">A foot is a unit to measure the length or distance in the US. \u201cFoot\u201d refers to a single unit of measurement whereas \u201cfeet\u201d is its plural alternative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">The abbreviation used for foot or feet is ft and the symbol used is \u2018. For example, a bag that is 1 foot long can be written as 1 ft or 1\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/a-bag-with-height-1-foot.png\" alt=\"A bag with height 1 foot\" class=\"wp-image-37339\" title=\"A bag with height 1 foot\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/a-bag-with-height-1-foot.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/a-bag-with-height-1-foot-300x194.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"1-relationship-between-foot-and-inch\">Relationship between Foot and Inch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">$1$ foot $= 12$ inches<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">or in other words, $1$inch $= 1\/12$ feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if a toy is $24$ inches in height, it\u2019s height in ft $= 24$ $1\/12$$ = 2$ feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"2-inches-to-feet-and-feet-to-inches\">Inches to Feet and Feet to Inches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, while converting measurements from inches to feet, we get the quotient in decimals. Instead of converting the quantity in decimals, we prefer to find the value in feet and inches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">For example:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">70 inches $= 5$ feet and 10 inches because when we divide 70 by 12, we get 5 as the quotient and 10 as the remainder. The remainder value in the division will be written as it is in inches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Let us look at one more example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">$49$ inches to feet $= (49 \\div 12) ft = 4$ feet and $1$ inch<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-relationship-between-feet-and-yard\">Relationship between Feet and Yard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">$1$ yard $= 3$ feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">or in another words, $1$ foot $= \u2153 $yard<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">For example:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">A park is 9 yards in length and we have to fence the length in feet. In order to get the length in feet, we will divide 9 by 3 so, we will get 3 ft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"4-relationship-between-feet-and-meters\">Relationship between Feet and Meters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">$1$ meter $\u2248 3.28$ feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">or in another words, $1$ foot $\u2248 0.3048$ meters<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">For example:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">The height of a wall is 3 m. The approximate height of the wall in foot $= 3 \\times3.28 = 9.84$ feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"5-relationship-between-feet-and-centimeters\">Relationship between Feet and Centimeters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">$1$ centimeter $\u2248 0.0328$ feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">or in another words, $1$ foot $\u2248 30.48$ cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">For example:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">The height of a door is 7 feet. So, the approximate height of the door in cm will be $7\\times 30.48 = 213.36$ cm<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"6-square-feet-and-cubic-feet\">Square Feet and Cubic Feet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Square Feet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Square feet is the amount of flat space that covers an area. If we want to calculate the area of an object or figure in square feet, we need the dimensions in feet. If we don\u2019t have the dimensions in feet, we have to convert from the given units to feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">For example:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">The length of a painting is 36 inches and breadth is 24 inches. What will be the area in square feet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Length $= 36$ inches $= 3$ feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Breadth $= 24R inches $= 2$ feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Area $=$ length$\\times$ breadth$ = 6$ square feet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cubic Feet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Cubic feet is the unit to calculate the volume of a solid object. If we want the volume of a solid to be in cubic feet, we need the dimensions in feet as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">For example:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Length of a room is $4$ ft, breadth is $3$ ft and height is $2$ ft.
