About foot and decimetre
Foot: A foot is 12 inches, defined as exactly 0.3048 m.
Decimetre: A decimetre is one-tenth of a metre (10 cm).
The metric units (km, m, cm, mm, µm) are exact by definition, and the imperial units (mile, yard, foot, inch, nautical mile) use their exact international values. Traditional units (hand, span, finger, cubit, rod/pole, link, rope, ken, league) are given at their commonly accepted standard sizes — historical local values sometimes differed, so confirm against a primary source before relying on them for legal or historical work.
