Conversion Definitions

Meter (m): A meter is the SI unit of length, equal to 100 centimeters or approximately 39.37 inches. Originally defined by the distance between two marks on a platinum-iridium bar, now it is defined by the distance light travels in vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds. It measures length or distance in metric system.

Feet (ft): Feet is a unit of length in the imperial system, used mostly in the United States. One foot equals 12 inches or 0.3048 meters exactly. It is commonly used for measuring height, distance, and short lengths, especially in construction and everyday life in countries using imperial units.
