About Feet to Inches
Convert feet to inches instantly, with a reference table of common values. The factor is exact: 1 ft = 12 in.
A within-imperial conversion, needed whenever a height or length in feet has to be expressed as a single inch figure, which is how many technical specifications and size charts are written.
The foot derives from the human foot and varied considerably between regions until it was fixed by the 1959 agreement at exactly 0.3048 metres. It is divided into 12 inches, a duodecimal division that survives from a period when dividing by three and four mattered more than dividing by ten. It is the standard unit for height and building dimensions in the United States, and remains in worldwide use in aviation, where altitude is reported in feet almost everywhere. A basketball hoop is 10 feet above the floor, and a typical residential ceiling is 8 to 9 feet.
Worked through with real numbers: 1 ft is 12 in, 10 ft is 120 in, 100 ft is 1200 in.
As for the other side of the conversion: A standard sheet of US Letter paper is 8.5 inches wide, and a typical laptop screen is 13 to 15 inches measured diagonally.
Length conversions between metric and imperial are exact by definition rather than approximate. The 1959 international yard and pound agreement fixed the inch at precisely 2.54 cm and the yard at 0.9144 m, so these factors are definitions and carry no measurement error.
