To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths starting at 10-2 m (0.01 m = 1 cm). |
To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists lengths between 10-2 m and 10-1 m (1 cm and 10 cm). |
*Distances shorter than 0.01 m **1 cm = 0.1 dm = 0.01 m = 0.39 inch. **A square of this size has an area of [1 cm2]?. **A cube of this size has an area of [6 cm2]? and a volume of [1 cm3]?. **A circle of this radius has an area of [3.14 cm2]?. **A sphere of this radius has an area of [12.6 cm2]? and a volume of [4.2 cm3]?. *2.54 cm = 1 inch *Distances longer than 10 cm |
*Shorter distances * 1.0 cm -- 0.39 inch. * 1.0 cm -- width of square of area [1 cm2]?. * 1.0 cm -- edge of cube of volume [1 ml]?. * 2.5 cm -- 1 inch *Longer Distances |
