0.3048 m. 30.48 cm. 304.8 mm. The foot (standard symbol: ft) [1][2] is a unit of length in the British imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. The prime symbol, ′, is commonly used to represent the foot. [3] In both customary and imperial units, one foot comprises 12 inches, and one yard comprises three feet.
Donatello, the bronze David (1440s?), Bargello Florence, h.158 cm. David is the title of a bronze statue of the biblical hero by the Italian Early Renaissance sculptor Donatello. Nude except for helmet and boots, it dates to the 1440s or later. Decades earlier, Donatello worked on a marble statue of David.
The centimetre–gram–second system of units (CGS) is based on three base units: centimetre, gram and second. Its subsystems (CGS-ESU, CGS-EMU and CGS-Gaussian) have different defining equations for their systems of quantities for defining electromagnetic quantities and hence the associated units, with CGS-Gaussian units being selected from each of the other two subsystems.
The centimetre (SI symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10−2 metres ( 1 100 m = 0.01 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 −2 m and 10 −1 m (1 cm and 1 dm). 1 cm – 10 millimetres. 1 cm – 0.39 inches. 1 cm – edge of a square of area 1 cm 2.
The highest scenario in RCP8.5 pathway sea level would rise between 52 and 98 cm (20 + 1 ⁄ 2 and 38 + 1 ⁄ 2 in). [21] [29] AR6 had equivalents for both scenarios, but it estimated larger sea level rise under both. In AR6, the SSP1-2.6 pathway results in a range of 32–62 cm (12 + 1 ⁄ 2 – 24 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) by 2100.
The metre (or meter in US spelling; symbol: m) is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Since 2019, the metre has been defined as the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1 / 299 792 458 of a second, where the second is defined by a hyperfine transition frequency of caesium.
A nautical mile is a unit of length used in air, marine, and space navigation, and for the definition of territorial waters. [2] [3] [4] Historically, it was defined as the meridian arc length corresponding to one minute ( 1 / 60 of a degree) of latitude at the equator, so that Earth's polar circumference is very near to 21,600 nautical miles (that is 60 minutes × 360 degrees).
