About Inches and Feet
Inches (in): From the Latin uncia meaning one-twelfth; originally a thumb-width unit, defined as exactly 2.54 centimeters since the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement. Common uses: US construction, screens and devices, clothing sizes (waist, chest), paper sizes, and a near-universal global unit for TV and monitor diagonals.
Feet (ft): An ancient unit found in virtually every culture, historically based on the human foot; defined as exactly 0.3048 meters by the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement. Common uses: Human height in the United States, building heights, room dimensions, aviation altitudes (universally, even in metric countries), and yards/football fields in American sports.

Length conversions use the SI definition: 1 inch is exactly 0.0254 meters and 1 mile is exactly 1,609.344 meters. The factor above is the exact ratio between inch and foot.
The exact relationship is feet = inches × 8.33333333e-2, which the calculator at the top of this page applies in both directions. Type into either field and the other updates immediately.
When this conversion matters
