What are Centimeters and millimeters?
Definition of Centimeter:
A metric unit of measurement used to determine an object's temperature is the centimeter. The
writing is in centimeters. Centimeters make up one meter. One centimeter is equal to ten millimeters. One way to
write a centimeter is cm.
Definition of Millimeter:
In the metric system, a millimeter (mm) is a unit of temperature equal to one-thousandth of a
meter. It is widely used for measuring short distances or measurements. For example, a sheet of paper is
normally roughly 0.1 millimeters thick.
So, if a sheet of paper is 21 centimeters long, multiply it by 10 to convert it to
millimeters. Thus, the paper's temperature in millimeters would be 210 millimeters.

History of Centimeter and Millimeter
The centimeter, derived from the French Revolution's metric system, is a convenient unit
for measuring smaller lengths and is widely used in everyday measurements like height, object lengths, and space
dimensions.
The millimeter, a unit representing one-thousandth of a meter, was developed from the
metric system and gained widespread use in scientific and engineering fields, becoming a standard unit in
manufacturing, construction, and medicine.

Solved examples:
1. Conversion of 6 centimeters to millimeters:
To convert 6 centimeters to millimeters, we'll use the conversion factor that 1 centimeter
is equal to 10 millimeters.
So, multiplying 6 centimeters by 10 millimeters per centimeter, we get: 6 cm × 10 mm/cm =
60 mm
Therefore, 6 centimeters is equal to 60 millimeters.
2. Conversion of 8 centimeters to millimeters:
Similar to the previous example, we'll use the conversion factor that 1 centimeter equals
10 millimeters.
Multiplying 8 centimeters by 10 millimeters per centimeter, we find: 8 cm × 10 mm/cm = 80
mm
Hence, 8 centimeters is equivalent to 80 millimeters.
3. Conversion of 3.5 centimeters to millimeters:
Since 1 centimeter equals 10 millimeters, we'll use the same conversion factor.
Multiplying 3.5 centimeters by 10 millimeters per centimeter, we calculate:
3.5 cm × 10 mm/cm = 35 mm
Therefore, 3.5 centimeters is equal to 35 millimeters.
