Why Is A Foot 12 Inches? [Solved]
Wow, talk about a blast from the past! A span was basically the length of your hand stretched out, which was around nine inches. And back in the day, a foot was 111/42 inches - that’s crazy! Nowadays it’s 12 inches, which is the average size of a man’s foot. As for a yard, it used to be the length of someone’s belt or girdle - how wild is that?
