Length
1 inch is 25.4 mm exactly, fixed by the international yard and pound agreement of 1959. The foot (12 in), yard (3 ft) and mile (1,760 yd) follow from it: this is the international foot, not the US survey foot of 1200/3937 m, which the US retired at the end of 2022. The nautical mile has been 1,852 m exactly since 1929.
