The 100 feet (30.48 m) is called a station, used to define length along a road or other alignment, annotated as stations plus feet 1+00, 2+00, etc. Metric work may use similar notation, such as kilometers plus meters 1+000.
The template is intended for conversion of heights specified in either metres or in feet and inches.

Below are two tables which report the average adult human height by country or geographical region. With regard to the first table, original studies and sources should be consulted for details on methodology and the exact populations measured, surveyed, or considered.
13 cm = 1.3 dm – body length of a Goliath birdeater; 15 cm = 1.5 dm – approximate size of largest beetle species; 19 cm = 1.9 dm – length of a banana; 26.3 cm = 2.6 dm – length of average male human foot; 29.98 cm = 2.998 dm – distance light in vacuum travels in one nanosecond; 30 cm = 3.0 dm – maximum leg length of a Goliath birdeater
These considerations outweigh the convenient divisibility of the number 360. One complete turn (360°) is equal to 2 π radians, so 180° is equal to π radians, or equivalently, the degree is a mathematical constant: 1° = π ⁄ 180. One turn (corresponding to a cycle or revolution) is equal to 360°.
Consider e.g. the value of ("east displacement") when and are on either side of the ±180° meridian, or the value of ("mean latitude") for the two positions (=89°, =45°) and (=89°, =−135°). If a calculation based on latitude/longitude should be valid for all Earth positions, it should be verified that the discontinuity and the Poles are ...
Decimal degrees (DD) is a notation for expressing latitude and longitude geographic coordinates as decimal fractions of a degree.DD are used in many geographic information systems (GIS), web mapping applications such as OpenStreetMap, and GPS devices.
From 1833 the rupee and tolā weight was fixed at 180 grains, i.e. 11.66382 grams. Hence the weight of 1 maund increased to 37.324224 kilogram. [3] Traditionally one maund represented the weight unit for goods which could be carried over some distance by porters or pack animals.
