Feet
The foot is a unit of length in the British imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. Since the International Yard and Pound Agreement of 1959, one foot is defined as 0.3048 meters exactly. In both customary and imperial units, one foot comprises 12 inches and one yard comprises three feet. The foot is taken from the average length of a mans foot, but in older times was just uner 12 inches.
Micrometres
The micrometre or micrometer, also commonly known as a micron, is an SI derived unit of length equalling 1×10−6 metre; that is, one millionth of a metre (or one thousandth of a millimetre, 0.001 mm, or about 0.000039 inch). The micrometre is often used to measure the thickness or diameter of microscopic objects, such as microorganisms and colloidal particles.
