Meters are bigger than centimeters thus making it easier to measure.

Why should you always measure position at the bottom hook of spring rather than at the center of mass of the attached load?
at the bottom you will get some value which is positive while if you measure at the centre you will get zero length
Why do we measure a bus in meters rather than centimeters?
Actually, bus dimensions are marked on buses in millimetres (in the UK, and probably Europe, at least) - for some reason the building trade uses plans to millimetres but then uses pencils (especially as they wear down in use) and saws of greater than 1 mm width to mark and cut. Metres are used to measure a bus instead of centimetres as a bus is a large object and using centimetres would result in large numbers - it's a matter of a sensible unit.
What is the area of 15 meter long and 9 meter wide?
Finding the area of something is rather simple. You simply multiply the Length times the width. The formula is L x W=A L for length W for Width A for area in this case it would be 15 x 9= 135 The unit for area is whatever unit you are using squared So the answer is 135 squared meters
What is the slope of a line in degree measure rather than a fraction?
It is simply the arctan transformation of the fraction.
Would you measure a toothpaste tube in millimeters or liters?
Since a toothpaste tube is a rather small object, it would be advisable to measure it in millimeters. Liters being to big of a measurement for it.
What is an example of something you would measure in meters?
Anything that you might measure in yards, can easily be measured in meters. For example, the length of a car, the distance to cross a street, etc. You would NOT use meters to measure something rather small like the length of a pencil.
What is the metric unit used to measure a strand of spaghetti?
It is generally measured in grams. There is not much point in measuring it by length (such as cm or meters) because the length is not entirely consistent and it is rather impractical to line up strands of spaghetti end to end to determine the total length.
Why is a meter rule used to measure the initial length of a bar?
The length of a meter was originally determined with a metal reference, keep to this day in Paris, France.
The perimeter of a dog pen is twenty four meters The length is five meters What is the width of the dog pen in meters?
I am guessing this is a homework question so I will explain how to get the answer rather than just answer it. If the length is 10 meters then the 2 sides of the length equal 10 meters. If you subtract that from 24 meters you are left with 14 meters. What is the width? Remember there are 2 sides to the width.
What object can you measure in kilometers?
Kilometers are more likely to be used to measure the distance between two places, rather than the size of objects, since in our normal experience, objects are more likely to be measured by meters or centimeters rather than by kilometers. However, the diameter of planets and their moons, or of the sun or stars, can be measured in kilometers.
What is the width of a dinner plate in meters?
It depends on the plate in question, but a plate would normally be measured in centimeters rather than in meters.
How do you convert 1600 meters in 242.70 seconds?
You cannot.A metre is a measure of length in 1-dimensional space while a second (in this context) is a measure of time. The two measure different characteristics and, according to the most basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at comparisons or conversions between the two are fundamentally flawed.
Would you rather measure a car by 4 meters or 4 kilometers?
Neither, I'd rather measure a car as about 13 ft 2 in long.I'd recommend that you ought to measure a car's length as about 4 m in length as a car 4 km long would be about 2.5 miles long.As a guide: the longest trains average about 2 km (1.25 miles) long with the longest in the US limited by air brake capability to about 3.7 km long.The longest ever train consisted of 682 loaded wagons and 8 locomotives evenly placed throughout the train for a total length of 7.353 km (4.568 miles). It was all controlled by one driver.

How do you convert 855 centimeters into milliliters?
centimeters is a unit of Length. milliliters is a unit of Volume. if you meant 855 cm3 (cubic centimeters), then 1 milliliter = 1 cubic centimeter, and the answer would be 855 mL if you meant millimeters rather than milliliters, then 1 cm = 10 mm, and the answer is (855 * 10) mm = 8550 mm
What is the measure of the central angles if the arc length equals 3.14 and the radius equals 9?
Whoever wrote this question for you would be happy to see "pi" in the answer rather than "3.14." So I will use pi. Measure of central angle/360=arc length/2pi*r; measure.../360=pi/2pi*9; measure.../360=1/18; measure...=360/18=20. The measure of the central angle is 20 degrees.
What measuring device use for size of the classromm?
A tape-measure could be used to measure a classroom. A metre length stick, or even pacing are other means that can be used. It rather depends on how accurate the measurements need to be.
