2ft

Two feet, abbreviated 2 ft, is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems. It is equal to one third of a yard and exactly 0.6096 meters. Because there are 12 inches in a foot, 2 ft equals 24 inches. In metric terms, 2 ft is 60.96 centimeters.

The symbol for the unit is ft, and the plural form is feet (as in “two feet”). The foot is defined internationally as exactly 0.3048 meters since 1959. In the United States, a related measure known as the US survey foot is defined as 1200/3937 meters, which makes 2 ft very slightly longer than the international definition; the difference is small and mainly relevant in surveying contexts.

Usage and context: 2 ft is commonly used in construction, architecture, and everyday measurements in countries that use imperial or US customary units. In scientific and most international contexts, the meter is preferred, but feet and inches remain standard for many practical measurements, particularly in the United States. Measurements expressed in feet are often converted to inches or meters for broader communication.
