What is the metric unit of length?

Answer 1

millimeter, meter, kilometer.... Meter

The SI unit of length is the meter (or metre). The SI system was once known as the MKS system (for Meter-Kilogram-Second). Additional information about the Metric System The purpose of the metric system is to have a single decimal-based unit of measurement for any and all physical measurements. Meters are used to measure length and distance, while kilograms are used to measure mass (and liters are used to measure volume). Seconds are still used to measure time. The meter. Meters, millimeters, kilometers= length

grams, milligrams, kilograms= weight or mass

liters, milliliters, kiloliters= volume

It really just depends on what you are measuring weight or mass, length, or volume.

grams, kilograms, etc are units for measuring mass, NOT weight. Weight is measured in Newtons.
centimeter and meter

most common measurements are millimetre (mm), centimetre (cm), meter (m) and kilometre (km)

10 millimetres = 1 centimetre

10 centimetres = 1 decimetre

10 decimetres = 1 metre

10 metres = 1 decametre

10 decametre = 1 hectometre

20 hectometres = 1 kilometre = 1000 metres

The meter, the word that "metric" comes from. Meter is from an old word meaning, "Measure".
i dont know the flippin thing

--------------------------------------------

The metric (SI) unit for length/distance is the meter. Prefixes will frequently be added to represent more or less distance.
The metre. It is defined as the distance light travels in 1/299 792 458th of a second
The meter, supposed to be one ten-millionth of the distance from the pole to the equator of the Earth. It actually missed this by a little, so it's now defined in terms of a certain wavelength of excited krypton.

The metre is defined in reference to the speed of light. One metre is the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in the time period of 1⁄299,792,458 of a second.

Answer 2

The base unit used to measure length in the metric system is the metre (m).

Like all units in the metric system, it can be modified by a prefix which can subdivide or multiply the metre to make recording the measurement of small or large lengths easier.

The metric prefixes include:

kilo- = ×10^3 (or × 1000): 1 km = 1000 m

deci- = ×10^-1 (or × 0.1): 1 dm = 0.1 m

centi- = ×10^-2 (or × 0.01): 1 cm = 0.01 m

milli- = ×10^-3 (or 0.001): 1 mm = 0.001 m

micro- = ×10^-6 (or 0.000001): 1 µm = 0.000001 m

Answer 3

The meter

Any unit of length that ends with 'metre' (millimetre, centimetre, metre, decametre, kilometre, etc.) is metric measurement of length.

And Imperial units of length are inches, feet, miles etc.

Answer 4

the meter, along with all of its decade multiples and sub-multiples

Answer 5

the metre (with various prefixes such as kilo i.e. 1000, milli i.e. 1/1000, centi i.e.100)

Answer 6

The most commonly used metric units for length are Millimetres, Centimetres, Metres and Kilometres.

Answer 7

meter millimeter

Answer 8

That's the 'meter'.
