Lengths

Length is a measurement of how long an object is. It is one of the fundamental properties of an object and is commonly measured in units such as meters, centimeters, inches, feet, etc.

Units of Length

There are various units of length used for measurement. Some common units include:

Meter (m)
Centimeter (cm)
Inch (in)
Foot (ft)
Yard (yd)

Converting Length Units

It is important to be able to convert between different units of length. Here are some conversion factors:

1 meter = 100 centimeters
1 foot = 12 inches
1 yard = 3 feet

Measuring Length

Length can be measured using various tools such as rulers, tape measures, meter sticks, and yardsticks. It is important to use the appropriate unit of measurement for the object being measured.
