Metric Units for Length

Word Symbol Meaning

kilometer km 1 000 meters

hectometer hm 100 meters

dekameter da 10 meters

meter m 1 meter

decimeter dm 0.1 meter

centimeter cm 0.01 meter

millimeter mm 0.001 meter

Metric- English Relationship

1 millimeter = 0.04 in 1 inch= 25.4 mm

1 centimeter = 0.39 in = 2.54 cm

1 decimeter = 3.94 in = 0.03 m

1 meter = 39. 37 in 1 foot = 0.30 m

= 3.28 ft 1 yard= 0.91 m

= 1.09 yds 1 mile = 1.61 km

1 decameter = 32.81 feet

1 hectometer = 328.08 ft

1 kilometer = 3,280.80 ft

= 0.62 mile

Measure of Area
The table below shows the relationships among metric units of area.
Unit Symbol Fraction or Multiple of 1 sq. meter
1 square millimeter mm2 0.000001 m2
1 square centimeter cm2 0.0001m2
1 square decimeter dm2 0.01 m2
1 square meter m2 1 m2
1 are (square a(dam2) 100 m2
dekametre)
1 hectameter ha(hm2) 10 000 m2
(square hectometre)
1 square kilometer km2 1 000 000 m2

English Units for Area


1 square foot (ft2) = 144 square inches (in2)

1 square yard (yd2) = 1296 square inches(in2)

1 square yard (yd2) = 9 square feet (ft2)

1 square mile (mi2) = 27,878,400 ft2

1 square mile (mi2) = 3,097,600yd2

Measure of Mass
The mass of an object is the amount of matter it contains. The basic unit of mass in the metric

system is gram (g). The interrelatedness of kilogram, litre and meter can be seen in the table

below.

Unit Symbol Fraction or Multiple of 1 kilogram

1 gram (cubic centimeter) g(cm3) 0.001 kg

1 liter (cubic decimeter) L (dm3) 1 kg

1 tonne (cubic meter) t(m3) 1000 kg

Measure of Time
The old units of time have been retained. Hence, for the last several centuries we have
used the following table of equivalents:

60 seconds (sec) 1 minute (min)


60 minutes (min) 1 hour (hr)
24 hours (hr) 1 day (da)
7 days(da) 1 week (wk)
52 weeks (wk) 1 year (yr)
29 days (da) 1 lunar month
30 days (da) 1 calendar month
12 calendar months 1 year
20 years 1 score
10 years 1 decade
100 years 1 century
1000 years 1 millennium
Measuring Temperature:
The following formulas will help us convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice versa.

C – Temperature in oC F – Temperature in oF
K - Kelvin
Fahrenheit to Celsius Celsius to Fahrenheit
5 9
o
C = (oF -32) o
F = oC + 32 K = oC + 273.15
9 5
o
C = oF - 32 o
F = 1.8 oC + 32
1.8o
