    What is a Fathom?

    Definition: A Fathom (symbol: ftm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The fathom is one of the oldest units of length measured primarily in seaborne applications, and this unit measures six feet or 72 inches in value. The word "fathom" comes from the Old English word folding of "ftm," with a meaning that encompasses the idea of its physical meaning, ‘to encircle’. hence the fathom was adopted as the most familiar unit for them in this line. The spirit is of the fathom is like standing at a dock, with your arms spread wide, trying to guess how deep the water below you is.
    History of ftm: In the late medieval period the fathom began to be standardized to be used as a measurement for distance, it was set at 6 feet. It featured a simplicity that caused it to become indispensable in navigation, ship construction, and fishing since sailors required correct measurements in order to avoid obstacles on the sea floor. Since older charts depicted ocean depths some of them provided information in terms of fathoms and assisted the mariner on the contours of the seabed.

    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.
