Hundredths of a meter are units of measurement used to represent one hundred equal parts of a meter. Since a meter is the base unit of length in the metric system, dividing it into hundredths allows for more precise measurements. Each hundredth of a meter is equal to 0.01 meters or 1 centimeter.
The base measurement for length is a meter.
The main difference between a 6mm and a 6cm is their unit of measurement. The "mm" stands for millimeters, which is a metric unit of length equal to one thousandth of a meter. On the other hand, "cm" stands for centimeters, which is also a metric unit of length but equal to one hundredth of a meter. Therefore, a 6mm is much smaller than a 6cm, as 1 cm is equivalent to 10 mm.
