Converting units of measurement
Length Length is measured in linear units e.g. millimetres, centimetres, metres, kilometres
Length There are: 10 mm = 1 cm 100 cm = 1 m 1000 m = 1 km
Converting units of length mmmkm cm 1000
mmmkm ÷10÷100 cm ÷1000 x1000 x100 x10
Area Area is measured in square units e.g. mm 2, cm 2, m 2, km 2
Area1cm 1cm 1cm 2 10mm 10mm 100mm 2 1cm = 10mm 1cm 2 = 100mm 2
