Meter (American spelling) or Metre (international spelling) is a length unit of the metric system, originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the Equator to the North Pole. It is nowadays a measurement unit used officially in the largest part of the world for expressing either lengths or geographical distances between land places, being notable exceptions the United States and United Kingdom.

Yard is a length unit used in both the British Imperial and United States Customary measurement systems. It comprises 3 feet or 36 inches and is standardized since 1959 by international agreement as exactly 0.9144 meters. In United Kingdom road signs must use imperial units and hence they are always marked in yards (when not in miles).

Foot is a length unit used in both the British Imperial and United States Customary measurement systems. It is standardized since 1959 by international agreement as exactly 0.3048 meters. Historically the "foot" was a unit of many local measurement systems adopted by the Greek, Roman, Chinese, French and English. It varied in length from country to country, from city to city, and sometimes from trade to trade. Its length was usually between 0.250 and 0.335 meters and was generally, but not always, subdivided into 12 inches or 16 digits. Nowadays United States is the only industrialized nation which uses the international foot and the survey foot (a customary unit of length) in preference to the meter in its commercial, engineering and general activities. The foot is legally recognized in the United Kingdom, where its usage is widespread among the public as a measurement of height. It is also recognized as an alternative expression of length in Canada, officially defined as a unit derived from the meter albeit both United Kingdom and Canada have partially metricated their measurement units. The measurement of altitude in international aviation is one of the few areas where the foot is widely used outside the English-speaking world.
