The measurement you are referring to to is a nail. 1 nail = 3 digits = 21⁄4 inches = 1⁄16 yard = 5.715cm
The measurement dates back to Anglo-Saxon England. The Anglo-Saxon system started with the most basic unit of measurement being a poppyseed, which was approximately 1/4 barleycorn.
3 barleycorns (the length of 3 corns) = 1 inch
The barleycorn is still the basis for current UK and U.S. shoe sizes, with the largest shoe size taken as thirteen inches (a size 13) and then counting backwards in barleycorn units, although the original derivation was: less than 13 barleycorns: infants with no shoes; 13 to 26 barleycorns: children's sizes 1 to 12; 26 to 39 barleycorns: men's sizes 1 to 13.
Other units of measurement were:
The digit: 3/4 inch
The finger: 7/8 inch
Palm: 3 inches,
Hand: 4 inches,
Shaftment: 61/2 inches (reduced to 6 inches after 1066),
Span: = 3 palms = 9 inches,
Foot: originally 13 inches, 12 inches after 1066,
Cubit: 18 inches
Ell: = 20 nails = 45 inches = 11/4 yards,
Yard (introduced after 1066) = 3 feet = 36 inches
Fathom: 6 feet
Rod: Originally 20 feet (260 inches), after 1066 redefined as 161/2 feet, (198 inches)
Chain: = 4 rods,
Furlong: Originally the distance a plough team could be driven without rest. Now deemed to be 660 feet, 40 rods or 10 chains,
Mile: Originally like the Roman mile set at 5000 feet. The Roman mile was divided into 8 stadia. The closest English equivalent was the furlong, so the mile was increased to 5,280 feet to accommodate 8 furlongs,
An inch is a measure of length. A square inch is a measure of area. An area of 50.14 sq ins could be the area of a rectangle with a length of 10 inches and a width of 5.014 inches. The area is length x width = 10 x 5.014 = 50.14 sq ins Or it could be a square with a side length of 7.08 inches. Or, the area of a circle with a radius of almost 4 inches.
In the Imperial linear measure system it is 12 ins = 1 feet 3ft = 1 yard 22 yds = 1 chains 10 ch. = 1 furlong 8 fur = 1 mile.
By unit of length and distance and conversion ,we can say that 1 in =2.54 cm 9 In =22.86 cm
5 feet and 8 inches is equal to 172.7 centimeters.
None!!!! You misunderstand!!!! Inches is a LINEAR measure, Square Feet is an AREA measure. However, in 1 sq. ft. there are 12 ins X 12 ins = 144 sq. ins. So multiply 29 sq.ft. X 144 sq.ins = 4176 sq. inches. (NOT inches).
There is no equivalence. An inch is a measure of length or distance in 1-dimensional space. According to basic principles of dimensional analysis it has no equivalence in cubic (3-dimensional) space.
An inch is a measure of length. A square inch is a measure of area. An area of 50.14 sq ins could be the area of a rectangle with a length of 10 inches and a width of 5.014 inches. The area is length x width = 10 x 5.014 = 50.14 sq ins Or it could be a square with a side length of 7.08 inches. Or, the area of a circle with a radius of almost 4 inches.
The coastline paradox refers to the observation that the measured length of a coastline is dependent on the scale at which it is measured. As the measuring scale decreases, such as using a smaller ruler, the coastline length increases due to the increased level of detail captured. This concept highlights the fractal nature of coastlines and the limitations of traditional measurements of length.

The material density is missing to be able to convert a volume measure to mass measure.
By unit of length and distance and conversion ,we can say that 1 m =3.930 in
?Length x ?depth x ?hight = ? cu ins. 231 cu ins =1 gallon US. so volume of tank in US gallons is ?cu ins divided by 231 .
False
In the Imperial linear measure system it is 12 ins = 1 feet 3ft = 1 yard 22 yds = 1 chains 10 ch. = 1 furlong 8 fur = 1 mile.
A linear foot is a length 12 inches long, the length of a 12 inch ruler or a 12 inch long piece of string for example. A square foot could be a square having a length of 12 inches on each side, it could be a rectangle having a length of 36 inches and a width of 4 inches, or it could be a circle, a triangle, or any other shape enclosing 144 square inches of area.
