The SI unit for any distance (and that covers the length, width and height of anything) is the metre (m). 1 metre is about 3 feet 3 inches in length There are also multiples or fractions of this unit which are derived from the metre that are used for long and short distances. For example - 1 kilometre (km) = 1000 metres (1km is about five eighths of a mile) 1 metre = 100 centimetres (cm) - around 2 and a half centimetres = 1 inch. 1 metre = 1000 millimetres (mm) - 25 mm is about an inch.
