Length Conversion Examples

Metric, Imperial and US Length Units

The metric system uses units such as millimeters, centimeters, meters and kilometers. Imperial and US customary measurements commonly use inches, feet, yards and miles. Nautical miles are primarily used in aviation and maritime navigation.

Selecting the correct measurement system is important when comparing construction plans, product dimensions, road distances and international technical information.

Length vs Distance

Length describes the measurement of an object or the space between two points. Distance usually describes how far apart two locations are or how far something has traveled.

Both are measured using the same units, so meters, feet, kilometers and miles can be converted using the same length conversion factors.

Exact and Approximate Conversions

Some length relationships are exact. One inch equals exactly 2.54 centimeters, and one foot equals exactly 12 inches. Other displayed results may be rounded to make them easier to read, such as meters to feet or kilometers to miles.

For technical work, use enough decimal places for the precision required by your project.
