What units does the US use to measure distance?

The US is one of the 3 remaining countries that still use Imperial (old British) units to measure distance. They therefore uses feet, inches and miles. The rest of the world uses the international standard decimal units relating to the Metre.


Main reason why the US still uses the US Imperial system of measurement?

The main reason the U.S. continues to use the Imperial system is the significant cultural and historical entrenchment of these units in everyday life, education, and industry. Many Americans are familiar with and accustomed to feet, pounds, and gallons, which creates resistance to change. Additionally, the cost and logistical challenges of transitioning to the metric system, including re-education and retooling of industries, contribute to the ongoing use of the Imperial system.
