Length of a school ruler (4)

I believe the answer is:

foot

(Other definitions for foot that I've seen before include "Distance to the end of a limb?" , "Metrical unit; pay (a bill)" , "Base - unit of measurement" , "An imperial length or body part" , "Measure - part of body" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
