What is an imperial measure?

Answer 1

Both the Imperial System of measurement and the USA system of measurement are based on the older English system of measurement. Although they are often confused with each other, today they are quite different. You can read more about this topic at the link provided below.

Answer 2

There is not ONE unit in the imperial system, but several, depending on whether you want to measure length, volume, weight, etc.

There are so many of them, that's the main reason why the metric system

is so much easier to use.

Here are a few that roll off the top of my head. There are others.

-- inch, foot, yard, rod, league, chain, mile

-- square inch, square foot, square yard, acre, square mile

-- ounce, pound, stone, ton

-- fluid ounce, cup, pint, quart, gallon

-- inch per second, foot per second, foot per hour, mile per hour

Answer 3

That refers to any of the old-fashioned units which people used, in the past, in the United Kingdom (and still use, in part), and which people still use, to a great extent, in the United States - basically these are the non-SI (non-metric) units. These include units such as foot for length; square foot and acre for area; cubic foot and gallon for volume; pound for mass; as well as several derived units.

Answer 4

The imperial system of measurement is indispensible in determining and describing

quantities of mass, force, weight, distance, length, area, work, volume, energy, speed,

acceleration, pressure, and flow rates, in Liberia, Myanmar, and the United States.

Answer 5

That refers to several old-fashioned units such as the inch, foot, yard, and mile (for length); the pound (used both for mass and for force); the gallon (for volume); and others.
