Inch

An inch is a unit of measurement used primarily in the United States and some other countries to gauge length or distance. It is part of the imperial measurement system and equals 1/12 of a foot. To visualize an inch, think of the width of a standard paperclip or the height of a small paper staple. Inches are commonly used to measure things like screen sizes, furniture dimensions, or clothing sizes. The inch provides a convenient way to express smaller measurements precisely without resorting to fractions of a foot or yard.
