The foot of the king in power or the local lord or the guy with the biggest army nearby.
A measurement standard is an agreed upon comparison for people to trade or make measurements. The International System of Units has defined the agreed standards for measurements. Modern standards are based on non arbitrary standards when possible for example time (seconds) is based on the oscillations of a cesium-133 atom; length(metres) is based on the distance that light travels in a vacuum in 1⁄299,792,458; weight(kg) is still measured by an artefact rather than an agreed physical property. Previously/historically the agreed standards could be whatever the ruler/merchants decided upon in that area.
So that experiments can be reproduced. And not just science ... How about shopping for a pound of meat, or building anything ... whose foot would you use as a standard.
1 ft is a standard measurements .metric measurement units are m ,mm,hm ,km ,etc.
Vertical Foot
Early measurement units, such as the foot, were based on the size or length of a body part. For example, a foot was the approximate length of a man's foot. Over time, different people changed the exact measurement, such as kings making their feet the standard foot size. The Imperial measurement system (and now the US Customary system) defines a foot as 12 inches.
The two systems of measurement include the English system based on the foot measurements, and the Metric system which is based on the Meter as the standard unit of reference.

No. It it is a derived measure in the Imperial System.
If you don't remember it, you look it up.Every foot has 12 inches in it. They're all the same.
A king's foot used to be the standard of measurement, now there is a Bureau of Measurements in the Washington DC that has standard measurement's that everyone else uses.
history of measurements were created by the egyptians. the foot was based on the kings foot.
There are 12 inches in 1 foot. This is a standard measurement in the imperial system, where 1 foot is equivalent to 12 inches.
A standard measurement is one that is accepted and used by everyone. If the measurement can be compared to some standard, which does not changes, then it can be universally used. One example is a unit of time such as seconds, minutes, hours, days, years. The meter has a standard, and the foot and inch are defined in reference to the meter.
The foot ruler term came about from the measure used on a ruler which is exactly twelve inches long. A foot is a standard measure therefore came the foot ruler to represent one unit of measurement.
The inch is based on the Imperial system of measurement, which originated in England. It is defined as 1/12 of a foot and is commonly used in the United States and a few other countries.
