7. Quantities to Measure Length – Extent of something from end to end. –SI units: Centimeter (cm) –English units: inch (in) –1.0 in = 2.54 cm Area – Extent of a surface. –SI units: Square centimeters (cm 2 ) –English units: Square inches (in 2 ) Volume – Space occupied by an object. –SI units: Cubic centimeters (cm 3 ) –English units: Cubic inches (in 3 ) Mass – The amount of material making up an object. Measured with a balance. –SI units: Kilogram (kg) or grams (g) –English units: slugs –1 Kg = 0.0685 slugs 7
