About these units
Feet
A foot (symbol: ft) is a unit of length used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. One foot is equal to 0.3048 meters.
The foot originated from various units used in ancient civilizations. Its current definition is based on the international agreement of 1959, which standardized it to exactly 0.3048 meters.
Feet are commonly used to measure height, length, and short distances. Despite the global shift to the metric system, the foot remains in use in these countries.
Kilometers
A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 0.6214 miles. One kilometer is one thousand meters.
The prefix "kilo-" means one thousand. A kilometer is defined by 1000 times the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 seconds. This definition may change, but a kilometer will always be one thousand meters.
Kilometers are used to measure distances on land in most countries. However, the United States and the United Kingdom still often use miles. The UK has adopted the metric system, but miles are still used on road signs.
