1cm = 10 mm. Thus, 17.7cm = 177mm.

This is because a centimeter is 1/100th of a meter. The prefix centi- stems from the Latin word for one hundred. This is why a cent is 1/100th of a dollar, and a century is 100 years.

A millimeter is 1/1000th of a meter. The prefix milli- stems from the Latin word for one thousand. This is why a millennium is 1000 years.
