Centimeter (cm)
Definition: A centimeter (symbol: cm) is a unit of length equal to one hundredth of a meter (0.01 m) in the metric system. It provides a practical scale for everyday measurements.
History: Introduced with the metric system in 1795, the centimeter was designed to bridge the gap between the meter (too large for small objects) and the millimeter (too small for casual use). Its definition inherits all revisions of the meter.
Current use: Widely used globally (except in the US) for measuring body height, clothing sizes, and household objects. Common in medical settings (e.g., tumor sizes) and engineering drawings.
Mile (mi)
Definition: A mile (symbol: mi) is a unit of length equal to 5,280 feet or exactly 1,609.344 meters. It remains a primary unit for distance in the US and UK.
History: Originated from the Roman 'mille passus' (1,000 paces). The statute mile was formalized in 1593 under Queen Elizabeth I. The international mile was standardized in 1959 to align with the meter.
Current use: Dominates US transportation (road signs, speed limits) and athletics (mile runs). The UK uses miles for road distances despite metrication in other sectors.
