Shaku (Japanese: 尺) or Japanese foot[1][2] is a Japanese unit of length derived (but varying) from the Chinese chi, originally based upon the distance measured by a human hand from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the forefinger [3][a] (compare span). Traditionally, the length varied by location or use, but it is now ...
Human height measurement using a stadiometer. Human height or stature is the distance from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head in a human body, standing erect.It is measured using a stadiometer, [1] in centimetres when using the metric system or SI system, [2] [3] or feet and inches when using United States customary units or the imperial system.
Traditional Japanese units of measurement or the shakkanhō (尺貫法) is the traditional system of measurement used by the people of the Japanese archipelago. It is largely based on the Chinese system, which spread to Japan and the rest of the Sinosphere in antiquity. It has remained mostly unaltered since the adoption of the measures of the ...
The foot of an adult European-American male is typically about 15.3% of his height, [10] giving a person of 175 cm (5 ft 9 in) a foot-length of about 268 mm (10.6 in), on average. Archaeologists believe that, in the past, the people of Egypt, India, and Mesopotamia preferred the cubit, while the people of Rome, Greece, and China preferred the foot

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.
There is also an exact conversion between Celsius and Fahrenheit scales making use of the correspondence −40 °F ≘ −40 °C. Again, f is the numeric value in degrees Fahrenheit, and c the numeric value in degrees Celsius: f °F to c °C: c = f + 40 / 1.8 − 40; c °C to f °F: f = (c + 40) × 1.8 − 40
