-a foot is a unit of length in the ‘imperial’ + ‘US customary systems’ of measurement-
.
(since 1959, both units have been defined by ‘international agreement’ as equivalent to 0.3048 meters exactly)
(in both systems, the ‘foot’ comprises ’12 inches’ + ‘3 feet’ compose a ‘yard’)
(historically the “foot” was a part of many local systems of units, including the ‘greek’, ‘roman’, ‘chinese’, ‘french’, and ‘english’ systems)
(it varied in length from ‘country to country’, from ‘city to city’, and sometimes from ‘trade to trade’)
(its length was usually between ‘250 mm’ and ‘335 mm’ and was generally (but not always) subdivided into ’12 inches’ or ’16 digits’)
(the ‘united states’ is the only ‘industrialized nation’ that uses the ‘international foot’ and the ‘survey foot’ (a customary unit of length) in preference to the ‘meter’ in its ‘commercial’, ‘engineering’, and ‘standards’ activities)
(the ‘foot’ is legally recognized in the ‘united kingdom’; road signs must use ‘imperial units’, while its usage is widespread among the ‘british public’ as a measurement of ‘height’)
(the ‘foot’ is recognized as an alternative expression of length in ‘canada’, officially defined as a unit derived from the ‘meter’ although both have partially metricated their ‘units of measurement’)
.
*the measurement of ‘altitude’ in the ‘aviation industry’ is one of the few areas where the “foot” is widely used outside the [english-speaking world]*
