    1 cm – edge of a square of area 1 cm 2; 1 cm – edge of a cube of volume 1 mL; 1 cm – length of a coffee bean; 1 cm – approximate width of average fingernail; 1.2 cm – length of a bee; 1.2 cm – diameter of a die; 1.5 cm – length of a very large mosquito; 1.6 cm – length of a Jaragua Sphaero, a very small reptile

  3. Olympic-size swimming pool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic-size_swimming_pool

    If the pool is used for Olympic Games or World Championships, then the minimum depth is increased to 2 metres (6 ft 7 in). [3] Whereas the Water Cube pool used for the 2008 Olympics was 3 metres (9 ft 10 in) deep, the temporary pool used in 2024 was only 2.2 metres (7 ft 3 in), which commentators suggested made for slower race times.

  4. Length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length

    Width and breadth usually refer to a shorter dimension than length. Depth is used for the measure of a third dimension. [2] Length is the measure of one spatial dimension, whereas area is a measure of two dimensions (length squared) and volume is a measure of three dimensions (length cubed).

  5. Area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area

    Although there are 10 mm in 1 cm, there are 100 mm 2 in 1 cm 2. Calculation of the area of a square whose length and width are 1 metre would be: 1 metre × 1 metre = 1 m 2. and so, a rectangle with different sides (say length of 3 metres and width of 2 metres) would have an area in square units that can be calculated as: 3 metres × 2 metres ...

    Fabric "weight" is often specified as mass per unit area, grams per square meter (gsm) or ounces per square yard. It is also sometimes specified in ounces per yard in a standard width for the particular cloth. One gram per square meter equals 0.0295 ounces per square yard; one ounce per square yard equals 33.9 grams per square meter.

A centimetre or centimeter (US/Philippine spelling), with SI symbol cm, is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) equal to one hundredth of a metre, centi being the SI prefix for a factor of ⁠ 1 / 100 ⁠.

    For example, 1 kilometre is 10 3 (one thousand) times the length of 1 metre, but 1 square kilometre is (10 3) 2 (10 6, one million) times the area of 1 square metre, and 1 cubic kilometre is (10 3) 3 (10 9, one billion) cubic metres.
