Tables of Metric Weights and Measures: Linear Measure

The document defines various metric units for measuring length, area, volume, and weight. It lists common prefixes like milli, centi, deci, and kilo and their exponential relationships to basic metric units like meters, liters, and grams. For example, it notes that 10 millimeters equals 1 centimeter, 100 centimeters equals 1 meter, and 1000 meters equals 1 kilometer for measures of length.

Tables of Metric Weights and Measures

Linear Measure 10 millimeters (mm) = 1 centimeter (cm) 10 centimeters = 1 decimeter (dm) 10 decimeters = 1 meter (m) 10 meters = 1 dekameter (dam) 10 dekameters = 1 hectometer (hm) 10 hectometers = 1 kilometer (km) Area Measure 100 square millimeters (mm ) = 1 sq centimeter (cm ) 10,000 square centimeters = 1 sq meter (m ) = 1,000,000 sq millimeters 100 square meters = 1 are (a) 100 ares = 1 hectare (ha) = 10,000 sq meters 100 hectares = 1 sq kilometer (km ) = 1,000,000 sq meters Volume Measure 10 milliliters (ml) = 1 centiliter (cl) 10 centiliters = 1 deciliter (dl) 10 deciliters = 1 liter (l) 10 liters = 1 dekaliter (dal) 10 dekaliters = 1 hectoliter (hl) 10 hectoliters = 1 kiloliter (kl) Cubic Measure 1,000 cubic millimeters (mm ) = 1 cu centimeter (cm ) 1,000 cubic centimeters = 1 cu decimeter (dm ) = 1,000,000 cu millimeters

= 100 millimeters = 1,000 millimeters

= 100 meters = 1,000 meters

= 100 milliliters = 1,000 milliliters

= 100 liters = 1,000 liters

1,000 cubic decimeters = 1 cu meter (m ) = 1 stere = 1,000,000 cu centimeters = 1,000,000,000 cu millimeters Weight 10 milligrams (mg) = 1 centigram (cg) 10 centigrams = 1 decigram (dg) 10 decigrams = 1 gram (g) 10 grams = 1 dekagram (dag) 10 dekagrams = 1 hectogram (hg) 10 hectograms = 1 kilogram (kg) 1,000 kilograms = 1 metric ton (t) = 100 grams = 1,000 grams = 100 milligrams = 1,000 milligrams
