36 in = 3 ft = 1 yd
66 in = 5.5 ft = 5'6" — near-average adult female height (US)

⚠️ Common Mistake

📋 Common Use Cases

International travel navigation and GPS distances
Construction plans and architectural blueprints
Engineering tolerances and scientific research
Manufacturing and quality-control specifications
Athletics — race distances and track dimensions
