The Foot (ft) is commonly used in the United States and other countries for measuring medium distances. For example, the height of a table is about 3 feet, a door is usually 6.5 feet tall, and a basketball hoop is 10 feet high. It’s widely used in construction, real estate, and everyday life. The Hand is the standard unit for measuring horse height worldwide. One hand equals exactly 4 inches. For example, an average riding horse stands about 15-16 hands (60-64 inches) tall at the shoulder. This measurement is taken from the ground to the horse's withers (shoulder ridge).
To convert between Foot (ft) and Hand (hh), use the following formulas:
1 Foot (ft) = 3.0000000000000004 Hand (hh)
1 Hand (hh) = 0.3333333333333333 Foot (ft)
1 ft = 1 * 3.0000000000000004 hh = 3.0000000000000004 hh
2 ft = 2 * 3.0000000000000004 hh = 6.000000000000001 hh
3 ft = 3 * 3.0000000000000004 hh = 9.000000000000002 hh
5 ft = 5 * 3.0000000000000004 hh = 15.000000000000002 hh
10 ft = 10 * 3.0000000000000004 hh = 30.000000000000004 hh
15 ft = 15 * 3.0000000000000004 hh = 45.00000000000001 hh
20 ft = 20 * 3.0000000000000004 hh = 60.00000000000001 hh
