Centimeters
Definition
A centimeter, symbolized as cm, is a metric unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One centimeter is equal to one-hundredth of a meter (0.01 m) and equivalent to 10 millimeters. It is widely recognized for its convenience in measuring smaller distances and objects.
History/Origin
The centimeter was introduced as part of the metric system during the French Revolution in 1795. The metric system was designed to standardize measurements, replacing inconsistent systems previously in use. Rooted in the meter, which was derived from natural Earth measurements, the centimeter became a practical subdivision for everyday use.
Current Use
Centimeters are used worldwide, especially in countries following the metric system. Common applications include:
Measuring dimensions in homes, schools, and workplaces. Recording human height and clothing sizes. Engineering and scientific experiments requiring precision. A yard, symbolized as yd, is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is defined as 3 feet or 36 inches. In metric terms, one yard is equivalent to 0.9144 meters or 91.44 centimeters. The yard originated from Old English and was standardized in the 12th century during the reign of King Henry I of England. It was based on the length of the king’s arm, which served as a reference for uniformity. In 1959, an international agreement set the yard as exactly 0.9144 meters to align with the metric system. Yards are primarily used in countries like the United States and the United Kingdom for: Measuring land areas in real estate and sports fields. Textile and fabric industries to determine lengths of materials. Describing distances in certain sports, such as golf and American football.
