Inch
The inch is a commonly used length unit in the United States and many other countries. An inch is equal to 0.00039 meters. The inch was originally a Roman unit of length, equal to 1/12 of a foot. It became an SI unit in the early 19th century, and is now one of the six standard lengths interdependent with meters (along with meter, kilometer, millimeter, micro meter, and nano meter). In 1935, theUSEb added the “point” to the name of the inch; thus 0.0003936 meters becomes 3.62 points, or 1/32nd of an inch.
Centimeter
A centimeter is a unit of length that is one hundredth of a meter. It’s the equivalent of a quarter inch, or just under three millimeters. Centimeters are used in many areas of science and engineering, including astronomy, geology, archaeology and measuring objects like car engines and medical implants. They’re also sometimes used in everyday life to measure things like the width of a door or the distance between two points.
