- why_only_15 6y agoI mean in theory a foot is defined as xyz centimeters but i don't think that matters for any practical purpose.
- p1mrx 6y ago1 foot is exactly 30.48 cm, thanks to Carl Edvard Johansson.
- m463 6y agoYes, I think you're right. Product specs are often in inches like 3.9 inches (which is ~ 100mm) Although sometimes it's the opposite - computer pins are commonly 2.54 mm apart (0.1 inches)
