As far as using a practical unit, centimeters would indeed be effective in measuring a hand.
It is 15 millimetres.
30 centimeters equals approximately 1 foot. 30.48 centimeters equal exactly 1 foot. 1 foot .984942 feet 11.81102 inches 0.328083 yards .3 meters .03 dekameter .003 hectometers 300 millimeters 0.0003 kilometers
71 centimeters = 27.9527559 inches
There are 2.54 centimeters in one inch.
Metric calipers are designed to measure dimensions in metric units (millimeters and centimeters), featuring a scale that reflects the metric system. Bow calipers, on the other hand, are a type of caliper that has a bow-shaped frame, typically used for measuring external dimensions or the distance between two points. Unlike metric calipers, bow calipers can come in various measuring systems, including imperial, and are often used in woodworking and metalworking applications for rough measurements. The main distinction lies in their shape and intended use rather than the measurement system alone.

A hand is traditionally used to measure a horse at its shoulder. A single hand is equal to 10.16 centimeters. This means that 143 centimeters is equal to 14.075 hands.
Millimeters or centimeters.
It would be more appropriate to measure a book in centimeters as meters might be too large a unit of measurement for a book. Additionally, centimeters provide a more precise measurement for the size of a book.
Inches or centimeters.
You could measure volume in cubic centimeters.
You could measure the length or width of it but you would have a decimal. You should be using centimeters.
inches or centimeters
meters-centimeters are really small, about a third of an inch. Meters are about a yard. Would you measure a pool in thirds of inches or yards? Exactly
You would measure it in centimeters.
