No. Imperial. The Metre (to use its correct, French, spelling - not 'meter'!) is the nearest metric unit to the yard, at roughly 39 inches, but that is co-incidental. They are in totally different systems.

No. The yard is not in the Metric System.

The Metric System may, however, be in the yard, particularly on a nice, sunny day.
