What is a Foot?
The foot is an imperial unit equal to exactly 12 inches or 30.48 centimeters. Its origin traces to the length of a human foot, and it was formally standardized by the international agreement of 1959. The foot remains the dominant unit for human height in the United States and United Kingdom, and aviation worldwide uses feet as the standard for altitude. A standard doorway is typically 6 feet 8 inches (approximately 2.03 m) tall.

The meter is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), from which all other SI length units are derived. Officially defined since 1983 as the distance light travels in a vacuum in exactly 1/299,792,458 of a second, it replaced earlier physical artifact definitions. An adult of average height stands between 1.6 and 1.8 meters tall. The meter is the standard for engineering drawings, athletics tracks, and scientific measurements.
