Millimeter

Definition: A millimeter (mm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one thousandth of a meter. It is a decimal fraction of the meter, the SI base unit of length.

History/origin: The millimeter is derived from the meter, which was defined in the late 18th century during the French Revolution as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a meridian. The prefix 'milli-' denotes one thousandth.

Current use: Millimeters are widely used in engineering, manufacturing, construction, and science for precise measurements. They are commonly used in technical drawings, specifications, and for measuring small objects or distances.

Centimeter

Definition: A centimeter (cm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one hundredth of a meter. It is a decimal fraction of the meter, the SI base unit of length.

History/origin: The centimeter is derived from the meter, which was defined in the late 18th century during the French Revolution. The prefix 'centi-' denotes one hundredth.

Current use: Centimeters are commonly used in everyday measurements, such as measuring the height of a person, the size of a picture frame, or the dimensions of a piece of paper. They are also used in science and engineering for measurements where greater precision than meters is needed.
