What is a Centimeter and its uses?

A centimeter (cm) is a unit of length in the metric system. It is one-hundredth(1/100th) of a meter, which makes it a subunit of the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The metric system is widely used worldwide and based on powers of ten, making it easy to convert between different units.

To give you an idea of the length, a centimeter is approximate:

• 0.39 inches in the Imperial system (used in the United States and a few other countries).
• 0.01 meters in the metric system.

Centimeters are often used to measure smaller lengths, such as a person’s height, the length of an object, or the width of a book. Meters or kilometers are more commonly used for longer distances.

What is an Inch and its Uses?

An inch is a unit of length commonly used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries that have not fully adopted the metric system. It is one of the units in the Imperial system of measurement.

In the International System of Units (SI), the metric system used worldwide, an inch equals approximately 2.54 centimeters. Therefore, 1 inch is approximately 2.54 centimeters.

The inch is subdivided into smaller units, such as:

• 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters (exactly in the SI system)
• 1 inch = 1/12 foot (in the Imperial system)
• 1 inch = 1/36 yard (in the Imperial system)

Inches are often used in certain fields, such as screen sizes of TVs and computer monitors, and in some specialized applications where the Imperial system is still prevalent.

Conclusion:

1 centimetre is equal to 0.393701 Inches. 1cm = 1/2.54= 0.3937007874 or 1* 0.393701= 0.3937007874. You can also use our tools above to convert CM to Inches easily.
