The Fathom remains vital in maritime navigation, measuring water depth and anchor chains. One fathom equals 6 feet. For reference, recreational scuba divers typically explore depths of 10-20 fathoms (60-120 feet), while the Titanic rests at about 1,200 fathoms (7,200 feet) below sea level. The Inch (in) is commonly used in the United States and other countries for measuring small to medium objects. For example, a smartphone screen is around 6 inches, a standard ruler is 12 inches, and a doorway height is about 80 inches. It's widely used in carpentry, display sizes, and construction.
To convert between Fathom (ftm) and Inch (in), use the following formulas:
1 Fathom (ftm) = 72 Inch (in)
1 Inch (in) = 0.013888888888888888 Fathom (ftm)
1 ftm = 1 * 72 in = 72 in
5 ftm = 5 * 72 in = 360 in
10 ftm = 10 * 72 in = 720 in
20 ftm = 20 * 72 in = 1440 in
50 ftm = 50 * 72 in = 3600 in
100 ftm = 100 * 72 in = 7200 in
| Fathom (ftm) | Inch (in) |
|---|---|
| 1 ftm | 72 in |
| 5 ftm | 360 in |
| 10 ftm | 720 in |
| 20 ftm | 1440 in |
| 50 ftm | 3600 in |
| 100 ftm | 7200 in |
