The foot (pl. feet; abbreviation: ft; symbol: â², the prime symbol) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. Since 1959, both units have been defined by international agreement as equivalent to 0.3048 meters exactly. In both systems, the foot comprises 12 inches and three feet compose a yard.
In all traditional measuring systems, short distance units are based on the dimensions of the human body. The inch represents the width of a thumb; in fact, in many languages, the word for inch is also the word for thumb.. The foot (12 inches) was originally the length of a human foot, although it has evolved to be longer than most people's feet.
