Table B.0.1: Length Unit Conversion Factors
Units of Length in the US/Imperial System
Units of Length in the Metric System
System to System Length Conversions 1 foot (ft) = 12 inches (in)
1 meter (m) = 1000 millimeters (mm)
1 inch (in) = 2.54 centimeters (cm) 1 yard (yd) = 3 feet (ft)
1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm)
1 meter (m) ≈ 3.281 feet (ft) 1 yard (yd) = 36 inches (in)
1 meter (m) = 10 decimeters (dm)
1 meter (m) ≈ 1.094 yard (yd) 1 mile (mi) = 5280 feet (ft)
1 dekameter (dam) = 10 meters (m)
1 mile (mi) ≈ 1.609 kilometer (km) 1 hectometer (hm) = 100 meters (m) 1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m)
