Wondering where to find Metric Conversions Chart and Customary Units Conversion of Length? Don’t worry as you will get all of them here. We know the Standard Unit of Length is Meter and is expressed in short as “m”. 1 m is usually divided into 100 equal parts and each part is named as Centimeter and written in short as “cm”.
Long distances are measured in Kilometers and 1 Km is equal to 1000 m and is written as “km”. Different Units of Length and their Equivalents are expressed in the further modules. Check out our Math Conversion Chart to learn about length, mass, capacity, conversions etc. In Most Cases, we use Kilometre (km), Metre (m), and Centimetre (cm) as units of length measurement. You can also check Customary Units of Length, its Chart in the below sections.

Different Units of Length Conversions are explained here which you can use as a part of your calculations. Make the most out of them whenever you need unit conversions.
| 1 kilometre (km) = 10 Hectometres (hm) = 1000 m
1 Hectometre (hm) = 10 Decametres (dcm) = 100 m 1 Decametre (dcm) = 10 Metres (m) 1 Metre (m) = 10 Decimetres (dm) = 100 cm = 1000 mm 1 Decimetre (dm) = 10 Centimetres (cm) 1 decimeter = 0.1 meter 1 Centimetre (cm) = 10 Millimetres (mm) 1 centimeter = 0.01 meter 1 millimeter = 0.001 meter |
Customary Units of Length are expressed here in the below table so that you can use the conversions of length.

Solved Examples on Unit Conversions
1. Convert 0.7 m to cm?
Solution:
We know 1 m = 100 cm
0.7m = 0.7*100
= 70 Cm
Therfore, 0.7m converted to cm is 70 cm.
2. Convert 5 m 16 cm to m?
Solution:
We know 1 cm = \(\frac { 1 }{ 100 } \) m
5m 16 cm = 5m +\(\frac { 16 }{ 100 } \)m
= 5m+0.16m
= 5.16m
Therefore, 5m 16 cm converted to m is 5.16m
3. Convert 14 km 350 m into km?
Solution:
We know 1 km = 1000m
1m = \(\frac { 1 }{ 1000 } \) km
14km 350m = 14 km+\(\frac { 350 }{ 1000 } \) km
= 14km+0.35km
= 14.35 km
14 km 350 m converted to m is 14.35km
4. The length of a square tile is 120 cm. What will be the length of the tile strip in millimeters if 12 tiles are kept in a line?
Solution:
Length of Square Tile = 120 cm
Length of 12 Tile Strips in mm = 120*12
= 1440 mm
Therefore, the Length of the Tile Strip in mm is 1440mm.
