CTE Customary System

The system for measuring length in the United States. The customary system is based on the inch, foot, mile, which are the only four customary length measurements in everyday use.

Words to know Length = of an object is how long is it? Length = of an object is how long is it? Customary Units Customary Units –Inch –foot –yard –mile

Words to know Weight = is a measurement of the gravitational force acting on an object Weight = is a measurement of the gravitational force acting on an object Customary Units Customary Units –Ounce –Pound –Tons

Words to know Volume = the volume of any solid, liquid, or gas is how much three dimensional space it occupies often quantified numerical. (Length x Width x Height) Volume = the volume of any solid, liquid, or gas is how much three dimensional space it occupies often quantified numerical. (Length x Width x Height) Customary Units Customary Units –Ounce –Cup –Pint –Quart

Words to know Area = is a quantity expressing the size of a figure. (Length x Width) Area = is a quantity expressing the size of a figure. (Length x Width) Customary Units Customary Units –Square Inches –Square feet –Square yards

Words to know Temperature = is the measure of how hot or cold something is, although the most immediate way in we can measure this, by feeling it, is unreliable in result in the phenomenon of felt air temperature, which can differ at varying degrees from actual temperature Temperature = is the measure of how hot or cold something is, although the most immediate way in we can measure this, by feeling it, is unreliable in result in the phenomenon of felt air temperature, which can differ at varying degrees from actual temperature Customary Unit Customary Unit –Degree Fahrenheit

Words to know Speed = is the rate of motion, or equivalently the rate of change in position, often expresses as distance. Speed = is the rate of motion, or equivalently the rate of change in position, often expresses as distance. Customary Unit Customary Unit –Mile per hour

Words to know Inch = 1 inch is divided equally 16 times (smallest to largest) Inch = 1 inch is divided equally 16 times (smallest to largest) –Sixteenth –Eighth –Quarter –half
