About feet
The foot is one of the most intuitive ancient units, originally based on the length of a human foot. Almost every culture had its own version, from the Greek 'pous' to the Roman 'pes'. The standardization of the foot was crucial for trade and construction. Today, the International Foot is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters. It remains the dominant unit for aviation altitude worldwide, even in metric-dominant countries. feet are commonly used in Human height (US/UK/Canada), Aviation altitude (worldwide), Real estate square footage, and Lumber length, Boat length.
A standard subway sandwich is nominally 1 foot long.
About miles
The mile has a storied past, originating from the Roman 'mille passus'—literally 'a thousand paces,' where a pace was two steps. The modern 'statute mile' of 5,280 feet was codified during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I in 1593 to align with agricultural surveys (furlongs). While most of the world has switched to kilometers, the mile remains the king of the road in the United States and United Kingdom. miles are commonly used in US and UK highway distances, Speed limits (mph), Frequent flyer programs, and Running (the 4-minute mile), Railway trackage.
Walking at a brisk pace, you can cover a mile in about 15-20 minutes.
