inches or centimeters, I would use inches.
Centimeters would do it. A doorknob should be 91 centimeters (3 feet) above the floor.
You would want to use meters, which is the base for measuring distance. A Meter is roughly 3 feet long. Three other metric distance measurements to be aware of are kilometers, which are 1000 meters, centimeters, which are 1/100 of a meter, and millimeters, which are 1/1000 of a meter.
get a ladder and a tape measure and measure from the floor up. standard is 10 feet.
Depth is a measure of distance between the surface and the ocean floor.
-- Detect the particle as it passes a mark on the floor of the laboratory. -- Detect the particle as it passes a second mark on the floor of the laboratory. -- Measure the time between the two events. -- Measure the distance between the two marks on the floor. -- Divide the distance by the time. -- The quotient is the speed of the particle between the two marks.
I Use A Ruler For Measuring The Distance Between Blocks In A Wall Or Floor
Depending on your location, it might be difficult to come up with a meter stick or a tape measure that displays centimeters and meters. It's probably better to measure it in feet and inches and convert it to metric mathematically.
To measure chair height accurately, use a tape measure to determine the distance from the floor to the highest point of the seat. This measurement will give you the chair's height.
Measure human height by the transitive property. Stand up against the wall and make a mark at your height. Then measure the distance from the floor to the mark. You are as tall as the mark is above the floor.
For inside mounted shutters, measure the distance between the jambs or casings on the side (width), then measure the distance from the inside edge of the top jamb/casing to the sill/floor. For outside mounted shutters, measure the same but to the outer edge of the casings.
In Europe, CC (center center distance) is standardized at 600mm (about 24") which is what I expect the non-metric nations to consider good too!
The measurement of 10' refers to the distance from the rim to the ground.
