English unit of length
After 1959, the American imperial inch and the British inch were unified as 25.4 mm in scientific application and commercial use, but the American system kept a slightly different "measurement inch" used in measurement.
1 inch) = 2.54 cm.
1 ft) = 12 inch? = 30.48 cm.
1 yard) = 3 feet? = 9 1.44 cm.
1 mile) = 1760 yards? = 1.609344 kilometers (km).
The above conversion, the two units are the same, but the intermediate units such as chain (22 yards) and wave (220 yards) are used more in Britain.
