FAQ
- What is distance?Distance measures length, width and height. In other words, the length, width and height values are measured in distance units. The metric system's most common distance units are millimeters, centimeters, meters, and kilometers. These are inches, feet, yards and miles in the imperial system.
- What is Metric System?The metric system is a decimal system of measurement based on powers of 10. This means that metric units can be viewed on a larger or smaller scale by multiplying the units by a factor of ten. Prefixes are used to show which power of 10 is applied. The metric system is used internationally and has its own popularity.
The units for length in the metric system are: Millimeter (mm), Decimeter (dm), Centimeter (cm), Meter (m), and Kilometer (km) are used to measure how long or wide or tall an object is. - Which countries use the Metric System?Most countries of the world use the metric system. The exception make the United States, where imperial units are modified into US Standard System, which is quite similar to the imperial system. A few more countries don’t use the metric system: Liberia and Myanmar. The UK has used a mixture of measurements. For example, most measurements are done in the metric system. But distances are measured in miles, and car speedometers use miles per hour. So, people need to understand the imperial system because it is still used in everyday life.
- What is Imperial System?The Imperial System of Units, also called the British Imperial System, originated in Great Britain and has been used officially since 1824. After the United States gained independence from the British, they decided to keep the imperial measurement system but modify it. They created their own US Standard system, which is very similar to the imperial system.
In the UK and some other countries like Liberia and Myanmar, imperial units are still used to measure things like weight, height and distance. Thus, people must understand the imperial system because it is still used daily.
In mathematics and science, imperial units have mostly been replaced by the metric system. This is because the metric system is more straightforward to understand. It uses tens, hundreds, and thousands, which is more accessible than dealing with irregular units.
