Because we are not always going to have a meter stick with us we need to have a good estimate of how long an inch, foot, etc. are used. For instance, if you wear a size 12 shoe then your shoe is a foot long. Or if you wear a size six shoe you have a six inch shoe. Or if you aren't very big then the length from the tip of your middle finger to your first knuckle is about an inch
