Definition: A Centimeter (symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The centimeter represented by the symbol 'cm' is one of the metric units of length that are equal to one-hundredth of a meter. If you have used a standard ruler, most of its small divisions are usually represented by a centimeter that is fairly often used within the community. Ten millimeters make up one centimeter and we have 100 centimeters in 1 meter. History of cm: The use of the centimeter not only became a part of the metric system of measurement but was also adopted at a time when France. like other countries, decided to standardize some common measuring units to improve trade, science, and everybody’s way of life of that time in the late 18th century. Prior to the introduction of the metric system, measures were highly disparate, with measures both in different countries but often in different regions as well, which definitely did not make much sense.
What is a Hectometer?
Definition: A Hectometer (symbol: hm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). In our next segment, we will look closely at the hectometer, abbreviated 'hm', which is a metric unit of linear measurement equal to one hundred meters. Though it’s not often used when speaking in normal casual conversation, the hectometer is a useful unit of measurement of larger distances, especially in geography, agriculture, and environmental science. A hectometer is a little over the width of a football field that is approximately one hectometer in length. This makes the hectometer a handy tool for measurement between meters that are too small and kilometers that are too large. History of hm: It was not until 1791 during the French Revolution that the French Academy of Sciences formally put into practice of the metric system against which the meter was to be measured; this being the distance on a projected line of longitude. To accompany the meter, different multiples and fractions were established of which the hectometer that is equivalent to one hundred meters was adopted. This new system was purposefully set up to be as organized and rational as possible to increase decimal-based speed and thus precision.
