Furlongs
A furlong is a unit of length used primarily in horse racing and agriculture. One furlong is equivalent to 220 yards or approximately 201.168 meters.
The furlong is defined as one-eighth of a mile, making it a useful measurement for shorter distances, especially in contexts like racetracks and land measurement.
Furlongs are commonly used in horse racing to describe the length of a race and in agriculture for measuring field lengths. The unit is less frequently used in modern contexts but remains important in specific areas where its historical relevance endures.
Miles
A mile (symbol: mi or m) is a unit of length commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom. One mile is equal to 1.60934 kilometers.
The mile originated from the Roman mile, which was 1,000 paces. The current definition of a mile is based on the international agreement and equals exactly 1,609.344 meters.
Miles are mainly used to measure distances in the United States and the United Kingdom, especially for road systems. While most of the world uses kilometers, the mile remains prevalent in these countries.
