What are Centimeter and Inch

A centimeter (cm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equivalent to one hundredth of a meter. The meter, which is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), defines a centimeter as 0.01 meters. Centimeters are widely used for everyday measurements and are particularly common in personal and commercial dimensions, such as for clothing sizes and furniture.

An inch is a unit of length in the imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. One inch is defined as exactly 25.4 millimeters or 2.54 centimeters. This unit is commonly used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada for various measurements, including height, the size of displays, and the dimensions of various objects.
