About These Units
The foot (ft) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, historically based on the length of a human foot. It's commonly used in the United States for measuring height, room dimensions, and construction. The centimeter (cm) is a metric unit of length equal to one-hundredth of a meter. It's commonly used for measuring smaller everyday items, body measurements, and in most countries' school systems. Converting between feet and centimeters is especially useful when comparing US customary measurements to international metric standards.
