What are units of measure in the metric system?

Answer 1

In the SI system, the basic units are

• metre : length
• kilogram : mass
• second : time
• ampere : electric current
• kelvin : thermodynamic temperature
• mole : amount of substance
• candela : luminous intensity.

Answer 2

The units of measurement are:

Length: metre (m)

mass: gram (g)

volume: litre (l)

These can be preceded by multipliers representing powers of 10:

10^6 = M = mega- eg 1 Mg = 1 × 10^6 g = 1,000,000 g

10^3 = k = kilo- eg 1 kg = 1 × 10^3 g = 1,000 g

10^2 = h = hect[o]- eg 1 ha = 1 × 10^2 are = 100 are.

10^1 = da = deka- eg 1 dam = 1 × 10 m = 10 m

10^0 = <no prefix> = base unit

10^-1 = d = deci- eg 1 dg = 1 × 10^-1 g = 0.1 g

10^-2 = c = centi- eg 1 cm = 1 × 10^-2 = 0.01 m

10^-3 = m = milli- eg 1 ml = 1 × 10^-3 = 0.001 l

10^-6 = µ = micro- eg 1 µg = = 1 × 10^-6 g = 0.000001 g

Areas of land are measured using the hectare which is 1 ha = 100 are (pronounced as "air"). 1 a = 100 m²; 1 ha = 10,000 m² which is approx 2.478 acres.

Answer 3

The current official version of the metric system, used all over the world, is called the SI. It probably has hundreds of units. There are seven base units: meter, kilogram, second, Ampère, mole, Kelvin, candela. Other units are derived from those; to give a simple example, since meter is the unit for length and second is the unit for time, speed is measured in meters / second.

Answer 4

The standard unit of length in the metric system is the meter. Other units of length are: millimetre, centimetre, decimetre, kilometre.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Length; millimetre (mm), centimetre (cm), metre (m)

1 metre = 3.28 feet

Answer 7

It is meter for length, kilogram for mass, and second for time.
