What does the finger (cloth) unit represent?

It indicates a traditional, informal length based on the breadth of a human finger, mostly used in tailoring and handcrafting.

Where is the vara de tarea unit commonly used?

It was historically used in Spanish-speaking regions for measuring land and defining agricultural plot boundaries.

Can I rely on these conversions for precise engineering?

No, due to variability in unit sizes, these conversions should be used for approximations rather than precise measurements.
