IF - and ONLY if - we become integrated into the European Union ! Currently, the unit of distance in the UK is the mile - and will remain so, until an Act of Parliament (probably coupled with a national vote) changes that.

What is the Purpose of a scale map?
The purpose of a map scale is to show the relationship between distances on a map and real distances on the ground using different U.S. customary units, or basic metric units
What distance measures would you most likely find on a road on a map of Italy using the metric system?
Distances on Italian roads, and road maps, are in kilometres.
Why might some US companies use metric units on labels?
They should start using ONLY metric units. It is high time that the United States starts using international units.
How do you measure using the metric system?
By using measuring tools with metric measurements on them.
What long distances are measured in 10?
Since this question does not specify exactly what you are looking for, any measurement using decimals is measured in 10s, and the entirety of the Metric system uses a base of 10.
Do they use kilometers or miles in Australia?
In Brazil they use the metric system, thus using kilometers instead of miles.
What does metric mean in geomertry?
To do with defining or measuring distances. A metric space, for example, is a space with a way of measuring distance defined for the space. The "normal" measure of the distance between two points is the Euclidean which is the length of the straight line joining the two points. However, there are other metrics such as the taxicab or Manhattan metric (developed by Minkovski), which is based on distances measured along a pair of orthogonal distances. So 3 blocks North and 4 blocks East is a distance of 7 blocks - not 5 blocks as it would have been using the Euclidean definition and Pythagoras.
Which units of measurement would be the best for you use to measure the following distances?
It depends on the distance length; for example:long distances (as between cities); using kilometersmoderate distances (as buildings and rooms); using meterssmall distances (as clothing); using centimetersvery small distances (as small pipes); using millimetersextremely small distances (as for atoms and nuclii); using Angestrom and Fermi units (order of 10-10 or smaller)
What is 2006 Using metric units?
It is 2006. Using metric units does not affect a pure number.
Which continent uses the metric system?
In all the continents are using some countries are using the metric system more in Asia and Europe most of the countries are using the metric system.
Is the weight of a dog standard or metric?
it is metric !! The weight of a dog is measured by using the metric system
What is metric mesument?
Metric measurement is measurement made using units as defined under the metric system.
