About yards and feet

Yard (yd)

1 yd = 3 ft

Definition. Exactly 0.9144 metres — the base of the 1959 international agreement

History and origin

The yard has English roots going back to a royal standard, and long served as the base of the imperial system. The 1959 agreement redefined it as exactly 0.9144 metres, making it the reference from which the foot and inch derive.

Current use

The yard is used for fabric and landscaping and, famously, American football, where the field is measured in yards.

Foot (ft)

1 ft = 0.333333 yd

Definition. Exactly 0.3048 metres, by the 1959 international yard-and-pound agreement

History and origin

The foot is an ancient unit based roughly on a human foot, and its length varied from place to place for centuries. The modern international foot was fixed at exactly 0.3048 metres by the 1959 yard and pound agreement.

Current use

The foot is the everyday unit of length in the United States for height, rooms and construction, and is still widely used in the United Kingdom.

Where people use this

Yards: fabric, American football, landscaping. Feet: height in the US, room dimensions, construction. 1 yard is exactly 3 feet.

How we know this is right

The factor is fixed by the standards that define the units, not chosen — so it is exact, not a measurement:

1 ft = 0.3333333333 yd, so 1 yd = 1 ÷ 0.3333333333 = 3 ft.

Every value is carried to full double precision; the display is rounded.

Both units are defined in International Yard and Pound Agreement (1959); NIST Handbook 44, App. C.
