Yard / Inch Units Definition
Yard
Yard is an Unit of measurement of length (British imperial system), still used in the United States, defined as exactly 0.9144 meters since 1959. The symbol: yd (international) or vg (in French-speaking Canada). Formerly called verge in France, particularly for measuring fabrics; the verge is still used today in Canada, mainly in the field of North American football
Inch
The inch (symbol: ″ (double prime) or po in French-speaking Canada) is a unit of length dating back to the Middle Ages.Its dimensional value has varied over time, across regions and across countries.Since 1959, following an English compromise, the English inch — also called the “international technical inch” — has been exactly 2.54 cm, or one twelfth of a foot or one thirty-sixth (1⁄36) of a yard. For historical reasons, other definitions of the inch are still in force in certain areas.
