What is Feet?

Foot, also known as the singular form of ‘Feet’ is a common unit for length. Unlike centimeters or meters, foot is not a SI unit but a US customary and imperial unit of measuring length. 

Feet is abbreviated as ft and symbolized as (′); for example, 5 feet can also be depicted as 5′ or 5ft. Most people go with single-quote symbols as it is more convenient to use. It should be noted that 1 Foot is equivalent to 12 inches. The abbreviation for inch is in or “.
(This means: 1’= 12” or 1 foot = 12 inches or 1 ft = 12 in).
