Oh, what a lovely question! When measuring a building, you would typically use meters as it's a more appropriate unit for smaller distances. Kilometers are better suited for measuring longer distances, like between cities or countries. Remember, it's all about using the right tool for the job, just like choosing the right brush for a painting.
That depends on the building, and on which dimension of it you're measuring.
If you're measuring the height of the building, then 'meters' probably does it for every
case. The tallest building I know off the top of my head is the Amoco/Aon building in
Chicago ... the 3rd tallest in the city ... which is 346 meters above the street level,
so a building would have to be almost 3 times as tall as that one before 'kilometers'
might become a better choice.
If you're measuring the length or width of the building, 'meters' is usually the better
choice. But if you're doing one like the Pentagon, or the US Military Records Center
in St. Louis, then 'kilometers' might produce the more convenient number.

Would you use kilometers or meters to measure length of football field?
Usually, you would use kilometers.
Which is most appropriate measure for length of a table kilometers grams or meters?
Grams is no good - it is a measure of weight not length. Kilometers measure length - but only if your table-top is a few miles long. Most appropriate would be Meters - your average dining table is about one-and-a-half meters long.
What metric measurement would be used to measure a truck?
it depends. If you were mesuring length then you would use meters. If you were measuring volume you would use cubic meters. If you were measuring weight you would use metric tons.
Would a width of a wall be meters or kilometers?
meters
Which would you measure using meters?
Personally nothing as I would use imperial measures, but meters are used to measure any linear length, eg the length of a table, the width of a table, the distance around a running track, etc.meters can be used to measure smaller things, eg the length of a pencil, but this would be a fraction of a meter and centimeters (hundredths of meters) would be used instead to keep the numbers simple.Similarly, longer distances, like 1500 meters or 10,000 meters (distances run in athletic competitions), could be measured, but to make the numbers simpler, kilometers (1000 meters) would be used.Once astronomical distances are reached, meters or kilometers could be used, but light years are used instead to keep the numbers simpler. A light year is the distance that light travels in 1 year which is approx 9.46 × 1015 meters (another length measured in meters!)

What is 5160 meters in to kilos?
5160 meters is a measure of distance, not weight. To convert meters to kilometers, you would divide by 1000. So, 5160 meters is equal to 5.16 kilometers.
Why would you measure a building in meters?
Because you ran out of yards?
