To measure to the nearest half centimeter, you can use a ruler or measuring tape marked in centimeters. Place the zero mark at the starting point of the object being measured, then read the measurement where the object ends. If the measurement falls between two centimeter marks, estimate whether it is closer to the lower or upper half mark (e.g., 0.5 cm or 1.5 cm) and round accordingly. Always ensure your eyes are level with the measurement to avoid parallax errors.
The smaller the measurement, the more accurate.
If that's 171.5 cm, it's already there.
Whole numbers are already rounded to the nearest half.

There are 10mm in a centimeter, so 5.5x10= 55mm

Go for it! I'm not gonna stop you from measuring to the nearest half inch! This is a bit vague, don't you think?
You cannot change square centimeter to centimeter. The square centimeter is a measure of area and the centimeter is a measure of distance.
It is generally easier to measure objects to the nearest centimeter because this unit is larger and allows for quicker estimations, especially for larger objects. Measuring to the nearest millimeter provides more precision but requires more careful alignment and calibration, which can be challenging for some objects. Therefore, for quick assessments, centimeters are often preferable, while millimeters are better for detailed measurements.
