    Unit Conversion Tables for Lengths & Distances

    A note on the metric system:


    Before you use this table, convert to the base measurement first. For example, convert
    centimeters to meters, convert kilograms to grams.

    The notation 1.23E - 4 stands for 1.23 x 10-4 = 0.000123.

    from \ to = __ feet = __ inches = __ meters = __ miles = __ yards

    foot   12 0.3048 (1/5280) (1/3)

    inch (1/12)   0.0254 (1/63360) (1/36)

    meter 3.280839... 39.37007...   6.213711...E - 4 1.093613...

    mile 5280 63360 1609.344   1760

    yard 3 36 0.9144 (1/1760)  

    To use: Find the unit to convert from in the left column, and multiply it by the expression
    under the unit to convert to.
    Examples: foot = 12 inches; 2 feet = 2x12 inches.

    Useful Exact Length Relationships

    mile = 1760 yards = 5280 feet


    yard = 3 feet = 36 inches
    foot = 12 inches
    inch = 2.54 centimeters

    Unit Conversion Tables for Areas


    A note on the metric system:
    Before you use this table convert to the base measurement first. For example,
    convert centimeters to meters, convert kilograms to grams.

    The notation 1.23E - 4 stands for 1.23 x 10-4 = 0.000123.

    from \ to = __ acres = __ feet2 = __ inches2 = __ meters2 = __ miles2 = __ yards2

    acre   43560 6272640 4046.856... (1/640) 4840

    foot2 (1/43560)   144 0.09290304 (1/27878400) (1/9)

    inch2 (1/6272640) (1/144)   6.4516E - 4 2.490977E - 10 (1/1296)

    meter2 2.471054...E - 4 10.76391... 1550.0031   3.861021...E - 7 1.195990...

    mile2 640 27878400 4.0145E + 9 2.589988...E + 6   3097600

    yard2 (1/4840) 9 1296 0.83612736 3.228305...E - 7  

    To use: Find the unit to convert from in the left column, and multiply it by the expression
    under the unit to convert to.
    Examples: foot2 = 144 inches2; 2 feet2 = 2x144 inches2.

    Useful Exact Area & Length Relationships

    acre = (1/640) miles2


    mile = 1760 yards = 5280 feet
    yard = 3 feet = 36 inches
    foot = 12 inches
    inch = 2.54 centimeters
    Note that when converting area units:
      1 foot = 12 inches
      (1 foot)2 = (12 inches)2 (square both sides)
      1 foot2 = 144 inches2
    The linear & area relationships are not the same!

    Unit Conversion Tables for Volumes

    Useful Exact Volume Relationships

    fluid ounce = (1/8) cup = (1/16) pint = (1/32) quart = (1/128) gallon
    gallon = 128 fluid ounces = 231 inches3 = 8 pints = 4 quarts
    quart = 32 fluid ounces = 4 cups = 2 pints = (1/4) gallon
    Useful Exact Length Relationships
    cup = 8 fluid ounces = (1/2) pint = (1/4) quart = (1/16) gallon
    mile = 63360 inches = 5280 feet = 1760 yards
    yard = 36 inches = 3 feet = (1/1760) mile
    foot = 12 inches = (1/3) yard = (1/5280) mile
    pint = 16 fluid ounces = (1/2) quart = (1/8) gallon
    inch = 2.54 centimeters = (1/12) foot = (1/36) yard
    liter = 1000 centimeters3 = 1 decimeter3 = (1/1000) meter3
    Note that when converting volume units:
      1 foot = 12 inches
      (1 foot)3 = (12 inches)3 (cube both sides)
      1 foot3 = 1728 inches3
    The linear & volume relationships are not the same!
