UNIT CONVERSION

In this article, we explained unit conversion and measurement of the length, width, and height. Any object or surroundings or space can be. One-dimensional (or 1D) Two-dimensional ( or 2D) Three-dimensional (or 3D)

One Dimension Calculation	Length Calculation	Only length is considered
Two Dimension Calculation	Area Calculation	length and breadth are can be taken into consideration
Three Dimension Calculation	Volume Calculation	Length, breadth and height are taken into consideration

TYPES OF UNITS

M.K.S Units (Metre-Kilogram/Sec)	Metres
	Centimetres
	Millimetres
These units are practically called as Engineering units.

 

F.P.S Units (Foot-Pound/Sec)	Feet
	Inches
	Yards
These units are practically called Architectural Unit.

 

Scale	One-Dimension	Two-Dimension	Three-Dimension
	Length	Area	Volume
Metre	M	m x m = m2 – sqm - square metre	m x m x m = m3 – cum - cubicmeter
Centimeter	CM	cm x cm = cm2 – sqmm- sq. centimetre	cm x cm x cm = cm3 sqcm-cubic meter
Millimeter	MM	mm x mm = mm2 – sqmm - square millimetre	mm x mm x mm = mm3 sqcum- cubicmeter
Feet	FT	Ft x Ft = Ft2 – sqft - square feet	Ft x Ft x Ft = Ft3- cft - cubicfeet
Inch	INCH	inch x inch = inch2 – sqin - square inch	inch x inchx inch = inch3 – cuinch – Cubic inch
