Inches

The inch is a unit of length in the British imperial and the United States customary systems of measurement. Since the adoption of the international yard during the 1950s and 1960s it has been based on the metric system and defined as exactly 25.4 mm. The standard size pencil that you may see in schools and offices is 7 inches long.

Hands

The hand is a unit of measurement of length standardized to 4 in (101.6 mm). It is used to measure the height of horses in many English-speaking countries, including Australia, Canada, the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It was originally based on the breadth of a human hand. The average shire horse is 16 to 17 hands tall and can even reach up to 18 hands.
