Foot
The foot is the basic unit of length in the metric system and is equal to 3.2808 meters. It’s also the primary unit of linear measure in customary systems of measurement, including the English system. The foot is defined as the length of a line from the heel of one person to the toe of another person, with each foot positioned at the same level. Originally, a foot was defined as being equal to 12 inches, but this definition was later changed to its current value.
Mile
The mile is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to 1.60931 kilometers. It is also the basic distance unit used throughout the United States of America and many countries of the world. The word “mile” comes from the Latin word for “a thousand paces,” although its actual origins are still debated by scholars. The Romans used it to measure distances from one water source or naval station to another. Over time, other units were also derived from the mile, including the yard, league, foot and inch. Today, various definitions of the mile exist, but it is most commonly defined as 3,280 feet or 1.609 kilometers.
