Best Answer

they both mean the same thing but 36 inches is deemed more accurate


A scientist or engineer would most likely tell you that "36 inches" is more precise than "3 feet," since their method of measuring errors in calculation is based on the smallest unit used to make the measurements.

In general use, these two values are understood to be exactly equal in value and precision.

Precision is affected by how great an error can be when a measurement is taken. A measurement in feet has a greater resolution than one in yards. 3 times the resolution in fact. However, a measurement of 51 feet that can be up to 15% out is not as precise as a measurement of 58 yards with a 1% possible error.
