It depends on what you mean by size: its length, volume, surface area or even its mass.

How do you find magnitude in Calculus?
"Magnitude" is the size or distance. Its measure depends on the metric that is defined on the relevant space.
What is a metric area?
If you measure area by means of the metric system, you might be using square centimeters or square meters or square kilometers, depending upon the size of the area that you are measuring.
What is the metric unit of length about half the size of an inch?
that would be the centimetre
Are metric and mm the same?
No
What metric tool would you use to measure area?
You would use a tool to measure the lengths of the sides or radii of the area and then use a formula to convert the lengths into an area. The tool would depend on the size of the object and the precision required. The tool could be an electron microscope, or a ruler, or a telescope and in general there would be no difference between a tool used to measure in the metric system or the imperial system. As an example of an unusual tool to measure area... in certain types of chemistry, the chemist needs to measure the area under a peak on a graph, and the traditional way of doing that is to cut the peaks out of the graph and weigh it on an analytical balance. Assuming the paper is fairly consistent in terms of density, the ratio of the weights is the same as the ratio of the areas.
What would be the best units to use to measure a sheet of standard (letter size) paper?
That will depend on if you are measuring American letter size or Metric letter size (used in the rest of the world). American use inches, Metric use centimeters.
What metric unit would i use to measure how much a potato weighs?
Either grams or kilograms - depending on the size of the potato.
What would be the best units to use to measure a sheet of standard letter sized paper?
That will depend on if you are measuring American letter size or Metric letter size (used in the rest of the world). American use inches, Metric use centimeters.
What determines the shape of raindrops?
I would say that the size of raindrop determins the shape along with the amount of gravity!!!
What would you most likely find on a ruler using the metric system?
A metric ruler measures in inches and centimeters.
Instrument used to measure length in metric system?
there are many instruments used to measure length depending upon the size of object , Ruler is Metric instrument used to measure length. Screw gauge is also used as an instrument used to measure length in mm.
How fast does a raindrop travel?
Depending on the size of the raindrop and the wind speed, updrafts, downdrafts a raindrop can fall at the speed of light. The previous answer was obviously written by an idiot. A raindrop will fall at usually 3 to 8 metres/second. A raindrop will never ever be able to travel at the speed of light.
What are three metric units used to measure mass and how is each unit used?
-- Gram . . . used to measure the mass of little things -- Kilogram . . . used to measure the mass of medium-size things -- Metric ton . . . used to measure the mass of enormous, heavy things
What metric unit would you be best to measure a desk?
You would probably measure a keyboard in centimeters (cm).

How many droplets of water are there in one drop of water?
In the world of science, there are 20 drops of water in a milliliter. If you consider a drop to be what comes out of, say, a pipette, the size of that drop may vary. So does the definition of a drop: see the discussion at link below. The most common usage for a "drop" would be the metric drop, which is .05 ml. The older English usage of minim is slightly larger than the metric drop, but that usage is archaic. A liter does equal ~2.11 pints, so there are 1000/2.1133764 ml in a pint, which = 473.17 ml per pint. At 20 drops per ml, that means that there are 9463.5 drops in a pint.
Which metric unit would you use to measure an postcard?
Any square unit you like can be used to measure the area of a postcard, however to make the numbers have a reasonable size and ease of handling, I would suggest using square centimetres as a postcard is about hand size (and likely to be about 15cm by 10cm).
