The base unit of length is the metre.
The SI system is based on seven base units, all the other units are derived from these. Length is on of the base units, and is measured in metres. The prefix system is a shorthand way of writing fractions and multiples of the base units. A millimetre is 0.001 metres, the milli- just denotes the number of decimal places, the distance is still being measured in metres but is written as millimetres to save on wrting or pronouncing all the zeros. millimetres and kilometres are still metres, the prefix merely indicates the thousandths or thousands of metres.
All distances are measured in metres, sometimes fractions or multiples of metres are used for ease, but the measurement is still in metres.
What else can I help you with?
If you wanted to measure the distance from point A to point B which unit of the metric system would you use?
It depends on the distance between the two points. If it is more than a kilometer apart then you would use kilometer. Unless you wanna do it with centimeter. It's just whatever is easier.
What unit belong to both us metric system?
The only unit that appears in both the modern SI (metric) system and the old fashioned system is the second.
Is feet a metric unit?
No, a foot is not a metric measurement. Metric measurements of length would include millimeter, centimeter, meter, and kilometer.
What is a unit of measure in the metric system?
The Metre.
What unit measures distance in the metric system?
The metre (meter in the USA) is the base unit of length in the metric system. It is equal to the distance light travels in a vacuum in a time interval of 1/299792458 of a second.
What is the standard unit of measure for length in the metric system?
The standard unit of measure for length in the metric system is the meter.
How do metric system develop?
In the earlier times, there was no unit to measure the distance and thus there was no symmetry. To fight this problem, in 1790, french developed a standard unit of measurement called the metric system.
What metric unit is closet to an inch in the English system?
There is no individual unit in the Metric system that is near one inch in the English system, I'm afraid.

The SI unit for mass in the metric system is the kilogram.
