After standardization, it was decided that one foot would be 12 inches.

An inch is a common unit of measurement for small lengths in countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Japan. Inches are now commonly used to measure the size of a gadget's screen. In many parts of the world, radial wheel sizes are measured in inches as well.

About Cm

A centimeter is a metric unit of measurement for length that is commonly abbreviated as cm. The most common definition of cm is one hundredth of a meter.

A centimeter is widely used when the length is too short to use a meter as a unit, and it is considered more practical for measuring the lengths and widths of everyday items. The centimeter-gram-second (CGS) is a relatively new measuring unit, with the centimeter serving as the base unit.

Did you know that the metric system is based on decimal values? This means that each unit increases or decreases by a factor of ten.

Here's a metric calculation chart for you.

1 meter = 10 decimeters

1 decimeters = 10 centimeters

1 centimeter = 10 millimeter
