Units of measurements in the Philippines?
I published an e- book entitled "Philippine Units of Measurements". Page 2 of the book shows the literal meaning of each measuring unit while page 3 shows a list of my online references related to Philippine measuring units. Note: The estimated foreign unit equivalents are mere "estimates" and not 100% precise. They're merely based on my estimations. The list of links shown in page 3 may provide a more accurate/factual information. Visit the link below: http://www.scribd.com/doc/18048667/Philippine-Units-of-Measurements
Why is a ratio expressed without writing units?
In a ratio of measurements for the same kinds of units, units get canceled. For example, in a ratio of 3 meters / 8 meters, you can cancel the "meters" in the numerator and the denominator. An important ratio is pi, which is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. If you measure the circumference in feet, and the diameter in feet, then divide circumference/diameter, then the result is the dimensionless quantity 3.14159265.... If you go back and measure both in meters, you get the same answer.In a ratio of two measurements, the units cancel, so it makes no difference whether you write the units, or not.
Is AREA is measured in square units?
YES!!! For example;- A rectangle may have sides of 3 units and 5 uints. To find the area you multiply these two sides together. Hence Area = 3 units X 5 units = 15 sq. units(square units ) Note the use of the word 'square for area units. Theis method of description is used when measurements are in the Imperial System/ However when using the Metric system, , the units are described as 'Units^2'. Volume becomes 'cu.units' ( cubic units) ; Imperial and 'units^3' ( Metric)
