Facts about Mile
Basic facts: The mile, sometimes the international mile [statute mile] to distinguish it from other miles, is the US customary and British imperial unit of distance [symbol: mi or m]. It is currently defined as 1,760 yards, 5,280 feet, or exactly 1,609.344 meters.
History: A mile is an English unit [predecessor of Imperial units and United States Customary Unit] of length. Before the widespread adoption of the metric system, the use of the abbreviation “m” for a mile was common; “mi” became the preferred abbreviation in order to avoid confusion between miles and meters, it happened after the adoption of the metric system. The definition of a mile as 5,280 feet [or 8 furlongs], sometimes referred to as the statute mile, land mile, or international mile, which differs from the Roman mile of 5,000 feet, developed back in 1593, due to the significance of the furlong in England. There also exist a number of units based on, or closely related to, the Roman mile, including the nautical mile [1.852 km exactly], Chinese mile [500m exactly], and Italian mile [approx. 1.852 km].
Use: Regardless of the fact that most countries have adopted the metric system and use kilometers, rather than miles, to express land distance, the mile is still mostly used in countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Liberia, and Myanmar, as well as some other countries which are territories either of UK or US or have historical connections with either country.
Facts about Centimeter
Basic facts: A centimeter [symbol: cm] is a unit of length in the SI [International System of Units], centimeter [American spelling], or a centimetre [international spelling]. It is represented as 1/100 meters. A centimeter is around the width of the fingernail of an average adult person.
History: A centimeter is based on the SI unit meter, it is equal to one-hundredth of a meter as the prefix “centi” indicates. Based on a decimal system, metric prefixes range from factors of 10-18 to 1018, with the base [in this case the meter] having a factor of 1 and no prefix. In the now deprecated centimetre–gram–second [CGS] system of units, the centimeter was the base unit of length.
Use: Like the meter, the centimeter, is used in all kinds of applications worldwide [in countries that have experienced metrication] in the cases where a smaller denomination of the meter is needed. Outside of countries like the United States height is commonly measured in centimeters. In addition to its use in the measurement of length, centimeters are used to make conversions from map scale to real-world scale [kilometers], also to report the level of rainfall as measured by a rain gauge.
