Smaller
Measurements from a meter |
|
|
Remember,
centi
is the prefix meaning
1 one hundredth of the base unit meter.
So, 1 one hundredth of a meter (0.01 m)
is simply written 1 cm
|
Smaller Measurements from a centimeter
|
|
Remember, milli
is the prefix meaning
1 one thousandth (0.001).
So 1 one thousandth of the base unit meter
being 1 millimeter
is
simply written 1 mm
|
Larger Measurement
from a meter
|
|
Remember, kilo
is the prefix meaning
1 000 times as much.
So, one thousand meters (1 000 m) being the length of 1 kilometer
is simply written 1 km which is pronounced
"KILL-oh-meet-ur" NOT "kill-AH-mit-ur".
