Converting from Meters (m) to Centimeters (cm)
Converting between different units of length is an essential skill in various fields, including science, engineering, and daily activities. One of the most common conversions is between meters (m) and centimeters (cm).
What is a Meter (m)?
The meter (m) is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds. The meter is a fundamental unit for measuring length or distance in many fields, such as physics, engineering, and even daily life.
What is a Centimeter (cm)?
A centimeter (cm) is a smaller unit of length in the metric system. One centimeter is equal to one hundredth (1/100) of a meter. In other words, there are 100 centimeters in one meter. The centimeter is commonly used for measuring smaller objects or distances, such as the height of a person, the length of a pencil, or the dimensions of a piece of paper.
Conversion Formulas: How to Convert Between Meters and Centimeters
Converting between meters and centimeters is easy:
- To convert from meters to centimeters, multiply the number of meters by 100 (since 1 meter equals 100 centimeters).
- To convert from centimeters to meters, divide the number of centimeters by 100 (since 100 centimeters equals 1 meter).
Examples of Meters to Centimeters Conversion
- 5 meters = 5 × 100 = 500 centimeters
- 20 meters = 20 × 100 = 2,000 centimeters
- 3.5 meters = 3.5 × 100 = 350 centimeters
- 100 centimeters = 100 ÷ 100 = 1 meter
These examples show how you can easily convert meter to centimeter by multiplying by 100, and how to convert centimeters to meters by dividing by 100.
