query: one foot is equal to how many inches

pos: Foot (unit) Foot (unit) The foot ( feet; abbreviation: ft; symbol: ′, the prime symbol) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. Since 1959, both units have been defined by international agreement as equivalent to 0.3048 meters exactly. In both systems, the foot comprises 12 inches and three feet compose a yard. Historically the "foot" was a part of many local systems of units, including the Greek, Roman, Chinese, French, and English systems. It varied in length from country to country, from city to city, and sometimes from trade to trade. Its length was usually

(See 'minute' for another case where prime and double prime symbols are used to denote first and second cuts in refining measurement.) In the United States, the foot was defined as 12 inches, with the inch being defined by the Mendenhall Order of 1893 by 39.37 inches = 1 m. In Imperial units, the foot was defined as yard, with the yard being realized as a physical standard (separate from the standard meter). The yard standards of the different Commonwealth countries were periodically compared with one another. The

pos: Roof pitch Roof pitch In building construction, roof pitch is a numerical measure of the steepness of a roof. Roofs may be functionally flat or "pitched". The pitch of a roof is its vertical rise divided by its horizontal span (or "run"), what is called "slope" in geometry and stair construction, or the tangent function in trigonometry. In the imperial measurement systems it is typically expressed with the rise first and run second. In the USA, the run is denominated by the number 12, giving a ratio of how many inches of rise or fall there are to each 12 inches (one

Aiming four inches (102 mm) low for every ten feet of lateral distance from the fish water, and adding 3 inches for every foot of water depth in which the target resides typically yields good results, though actual compensation for refracted light must account not only for distance and depth, but angle as well. Common advice includes, "When in doubt, aim low, then aim lower." Bowfishing Bowfishing is a method of fishing that uses specialized archery equipment to shoot and retrieve fish. Fish are shot with a barbed arrow

neg: Aspect ratio (image) Aspect ratio (image) The aspect ratio of an image describes the proportional relationship between its width and its height. It is commonly expressed as two numbers separated by a colon, as in "16:9". For an "x":"y" aspect ratio, no matter how big or small the image is, if the width is divided into "x" units of equal length and the height is measured using this same length unit, the height will be measured to be "y" units. For example, in a group of images that all have an aspect ratio of 16:9, one image might be 16 inches wide and

In September 2014 Sheffield City Council announced plans to construct a dam wall upstream in the Rivelin valley at one of two possible locations to create a flood storage area. In either case the dam will be over 36-foot (11 m) high with a 13-foot (4 m) wide crest. If the scheme goes ahead, it will reduce the depth of water downstream by 4 feet 11 inches (1.5 m) during heavy rain such as those that occurred in 2007 flood.

neg: Scale model sub-contracting to Germans; so, at 7 mm to the foot, it works out to a scale of 1:43.5. Later, MOROP, the European authority of model railroad firms, declared that the "O" gauge (still 32 mm) must use the scale of 1:45. That is, in Europe the below-chassis dimensions must be slightly towards 4 feet 6 inches, to allow wheel/tyre/splasher clearance for smaller than realistic curved sections. "Live steam" railways, that people actually ride on, are built in many scales, such as 1-1/2", 1", and 3/4 inches to the foot. Common gauges are 7-1/2" (Western US) and 7-1/4" (Eastern US &

neg: Levitation (illusion) at an angle facing away from the spectators. The performer appears to levitate a few inches above the ground. The effect generally does not last for more than five seconds. The performer's feet return to the ground, and the effect is complete. The trick is performed by standing on the front of one foot, while raising the one foot and the visible part of the other foot, blocking the view of the front of the supporting foot with the other foot and rear part of the supporting foot. This illusion was first described by Ed Balducci in 1974. Its inventor

The Metric System counterpart of the MOA is the milliradian or mil, being equal to one 1000th of the target range, laid out on a circle that has the observer as centre and the target range as radius. The number of mils on a full such circle therefore always is equal to 2 × × 1000, regardless the target range. Therefore, 1 MOA

neg: Gear inches to the nearest whole number. For example, suppose the drive wheel is actually 26 inches in diameter. If the front chainring and rear sprocket have equal numbers of teeth, one turn of the pedals produces exactly one turn of the drive wheel, just as if the pedals were directly driving the drive wheel. That combination of gears and wheel is said to be "26 gear inches." If the front chainring has 48 teeth and the rear sprocket has 24 teeth, then each turn of the pedals produces two turns of the rear wheel. This is equivalent to doubling the size

Curtains and carpets are only effective at high frequencies (say 5 kHz and above). As a rule of thumb, sound travels at one foot per millisecond (344 m/s), so the wavelength of notes at 1 kHz is about a foot (344mm), and at 10 kHz about an inch (34mm). Even six inches

Maccauly stated in 1818 that to the north of Colombo an "Ammonam" contained 16 "Parahs", and 2.5 "Ammonams" equalled one "Acre", but that to the south there were 8 "Parahs" to the "Ammonam". He describes the "Parah" as a measure 16.7 inches wide and 5.6 inches deep. Montgomery, writing in 1835,

Similarly, an inch-pound (though should be more correctly as "pound-inch") is the torque of one pound of force applied to one inch of distance from the pivot, and is equal to of a pound-foot. It is commonly used on torque wrenches and torque screwdrivers for setting specific fastener tension. Pound-foot (torque) A pound-foot (lbf⋅ft) is a unit of torque (a pseudovector). One pound-foot is the torque created by one pound of force acting at a perpendicular distance of one foot from a pivot point. Conversely one pound-foot is the moment

Scott then asked them how long in inches a baseball pitcher's rubber (or plate) is. Both came up with the correct answer — 24 inches — then crossed it out, and put 18 inches as their answer, forcing another tiebreaker question. The next tiebreaker question was "Karl Malone appeared in how many playoff games?" Dembski guessed 163; "The Schwab" guessed 237. The correct answer was 193. Being closer to the actual answer, Dembski won the tiebreaker, and thus, the game. In the summer
