An iamb /ËaÉªÃ¦m/ or iambus is a metrical foot used in various types of poetry. Originally the term referred to one of the feet of the quantitative meter of classical Greek prosody: a short syllable followed by a long syllable (as in delay).
Quick Answer. A linear foot, otherwise known as a lineal foot, is equivalent to any one-foot length of a long object, and there is no difference in length between one linear foot and one foot. Particular industries, such as construction and archiving, use the term linear foot to avoid confusion with the square foot or cubic foot.
