Understanding Length Units
Metric System
The metric system uses meters as the base unit. Millimeters (mm) and centimeters (cm) measure small lengths, while kilometers (km) measure long distances. Each unit is a power of 10, making conversions simple.
Imperial System
The imperial system uses inches, feet, yards, and miles. Common in the US and UK, it's widely used for height, construction, and road distances. One foot equals 12 inches, and one mile equals 5,280 feet.
Common Conversion Reference
- 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters
- 1 foot = 0.3048 meters (30.48 cm)
- 1 yard = 0.9144 meters
- 1 mile = 1.609 kilometers
- 1 meter = 100 centimeters
