What is a Mile?
The mile is a unit of length or distance in the imperial and US customary systems, equal to 5,280 feet or 1,760 yards. It is predominantly used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and some other countries that use the imperial system. Miles are often used to measure long distances, such as the distance between cities or for measuring land areas.
Examples of distances in miles include the distance of a marathon (26.2 miles) and the distance between New York City and Los Angeles (approximately 2,450 miles).
Formula for Converting Miles to Feet:
To convert miles to feet, use the following formula:
feet = miles × 5,280
Example:
Convert 2 miles to feet:
feet = 2 × 5,280 = 10,560 ft
