Foot

A foot is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement and its symbol is “ft.” In 1959, a foot was defined as precisely 0.3048 meters. One foot comprises 12 inches, and one yard contains three feet.

Earlier to the standardization of units of measurement, and the definition of the foot presently in use, the measurement of the foot was used in many different systems including the Greek, Roman, Chinese, French, and English systems, contrasting in length between each. The various lengths were due to parts of the human body historically being used as a foundation for units of length such as the hand, cubit, span, digit, etc. This resulted in the measurement of a foot ranging between 250 mm and 335 mm in the past in comparison to the current definition of 304.8 mm. While the US is one of the few, countries in which the foot is still widely used, the majority of countries used their own version of the foot earlier to metrication, as evidenced by a fairly large list of ancient feet measurements.

The foot is predominantly used in the US, Canada, and the UK for many standard applications. In the United States, feet and inches are typically used to measure height, shorter distances, field length, etc. Feet are also typically used to measure elevation (such as that of a mountain) and altitude (aviation). 

Centimeter

A centimeter is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) the current form of the metric system and its symbol is “cm.” It is represented as 1/100 meters.

A centimeter is founded on the SI unit meter, and as the prefix, “centi” shows it is equivalent to one-hundredth of a meter. Metric prefixes vary from factors of 10-18 to 1018 based on a decimal system, with the base – meter – having no prefix and having a factor of 1. Learning some of the more typically used metric prefixes, like kilo-, mega-, giga-, tera-, centi-, milli-, micro-, and nano-, can be useful for fast navigating metric units.

Worldwide (in countries that have undergone metrication) in instances where a smaller denomination of the meter is required, the centimeter, like the meter, is used in all sorts of applications. Outside of countries like the United States height is typically measured in centimeters.
