Facts about the Foot
The foot (ft) is an imperial unit of length equal to 12 inches or 0.3048 meters. It was originally based on the length of a human foot and was used by many ancient cultures. Today, feet are still commonly used in the U.S. for measuring height, room dimensions, and in aviation for altitude.
Facts about the Millimeter
The millimeter (mm) is one-thousandth of a meter and is commonly used in fields that require precision, such as engineering, machining, and medicine. It is also widely used in tools like rulers, micrometers, and mechanical part specifications. Millimeters are ideal for measuring thickness, gaps, and tolerances.
