For example: 180 cm is 5 ft 11 in on a US form; a 32-inch suitcase is about 81 cm diagonally, and cabin bags must stay under 20 in (about 51 cm).

Metric is anchored to the meter (defined via the speed of light since 1983); imperial is anchored to the foot, with 12 inches per foot and 1,760 yards per mile. The 1959 international agreement fixed 1 yd = 0.9144 m — the bridge between both systems.
