The Centimeter (cm) in Length

What is Centimeter (cm)

The centimeter (cm) is a standard unit of length in the metric system, widely used around the world. It is a convenient measure for everyday use, often to describe height, distance, and dimensions. One centimeter is equivalent to one one-hundredth of a meter (1 cm=0.01 m). This means that a centimeter is significantly smaller than a meter, making it an ideal unit for measuring smaller objects or increments.

The centimeter is also commonly used in various fields, such as science, engineering, and healthcare. For example, a child’s height might be measured in centimeters, or the dimensions of a room might be listed in cm for clarity and precision.
