Length Units Conversion
WHAT IS IT ?
Length is a fundamental physical quantity that expresses the distance between two points. The most well-known units of length include millimeters (mm), centimeters (cm), meters (m), and kilometers (km). These units of length can be converted between each other using the following conversion factors:
- 1 kilometer (km) = 1000 meters (m)
- 1 meter (m) = 100 centimeters (cm)
- 1 centimeter (cm) = 10 millimeters (mm)
Examples of conversions:
- To convert 5 kilometers to meters, multiply 5 by 1000, which gives us 5000 meters.
- To convert 200 centimeters to meters, divide 200 by 100, which gives us 2 meters.
- To convert 1500 millimeters to centimeters, divide 1500 by 10, which gives us 150 centimeters.
These conversions are useful in everyday life, scientific calculations, and technical applications.
