Chapter 5, Problem 64A

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The unit of the length in the metric system that is most appropriate in size for measuring the dimension of a page should be explained.

Concept Introduction :

The most common units for measuring the length are, millimeter, centimeter, meter and kilometer in the metric system.

Millimeter: It is the lowest unit of the length among four, which is used for measuring those objects which are smaller than one centimeter.

Centimeter: It is next smallest unit of length and it is used for the measuring the length of those objects whose length of a ruler or smaller.

Meters: for measuring everything between the length of a ruler and the distance between things in a room, meter unit is used.

Kilometers: it the largest measuring unit of length which is used for measuring the long distances.
