About the foot and the kilometer
The foot is divided into 12 inches and is used for personal height in the US and UK, building dimensions in the US and aircraft altitude worldwide: airliners cruise at roughly 35,000 feet.
A kilometer (kilometre) is 1,000 meters and the standard road-distance unit in most countries. A brisk walker covers about 5 km in an hour, and popular race distances are 5 km, 10 km, the half marathon (21.0975 km) and the marathon (42.195 km).
One kilometer equals 3,280.84 feet, which makes the kilometer the longer unit of the two.
