class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"1-meter-definition\">Meter Definition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The meter is the standard unit of measuring length in the International System of Units (SI). Its symbol is \u201cm\u201d and it is one of the seven base units of the SI system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"2-what-does-%E2%80%98m%E2%80%99-stand-for-in-math\">What does \u2018m\u2019 stand for in math?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We use it to express length or distance. For instance, the length of the Eiffel Tower is 330 m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/height-of-eifell-tower-in-meters.png\" alt=\"height of Eifell tower in meters\" class=\"wp-image-37034\" title=\"height of Eifell tower in meters\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/height-of-eifell-tower-in-meters.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/height-of-eifell-tower-in-meters-300x132.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">You might have noticed that while talking about their heights, Tom uses centimeters, Lily uses inches, and Harry uses feet. While miles and yards may be used to measure the length of a park, meters or feet are used to measure the height of a building or a mountain peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full eplus-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"317\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/importance-of-the-metric-unit-meter.png\" alt=\"importance of the metric unit Meter\" class=\"wp-image-37036\" title=\"importance of the metric unit Meter\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/importance-of-the-metric-unit-meter.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/importance-of-the-metric-unit-meter-300x153.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">But why is it given such importance around the world? The answer is simple. Inches and feet are two customary length units and are not the same everywhere. For instance, one inch is 2.54 cm in the US, 3.33 cm in China, and 2.61 cm in Norway. Therefore, the SI units and the metric system were created; they remain the same throughout the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In the metric system, too, the meter is the most important unit. Why? Let&#8217;s take centimeters. \u201cCenti\u201d means one-tenth. One centimeter is one-hundredth of a meter, where the meter is the reference unit. In other words, all the units in the metric system are multiples or submultiples of a meter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"recommended-worksheets-container-id\" class=\"recommended-games-container\"><h4

class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"3-fun-fact\">Fun Fact!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">The meter is the reference unit for other units in the metric system. But what is the length of a meter? From pendulums to meter bars, we have come a long way in defining a meter. Today, a meter is the distance traveled by light in 129,97,92,458 of a second.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Let\u2019s now look back and see what was the definition of meter in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Before 1793, a meter was the length of a second pendulum.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In 1793, it was one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along the great circle.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"eplus-wrapper\">From 1795 to 1960, standard meter bars were used as a reference to define the length of a meter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"4-meter-and-other-units-of-measuring-length\">Meter and Other Units of Measuring Length<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We saw that Tom, Lily, and Harry used different units to express their height. Now, who is the tallest? Because it is difficult to compare heights in different units, we have to convert all into any one unit and compare them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Since we saw that the meter is the most important unit of length, let&#8217;s see how we can convert different units into it. For that, let\u2019s make a conversion table.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table eplus-wrapper\"><table class=\"wj-table-class\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Units<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Meaning<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Relationship with one meter<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Millimeter<\/td><td>&#8220;Milli&#8221; means one-thousandth.

The International Yard and Pound Agreement in 1959 defined one yard as 0.9144 m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">We know that 1 yd $= 3$ ft $= 36$ in (as 1 ft $= 12$ in)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, 0.9144 m $= 3$ ft, 1 ft $= 0.3048$ m<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Also, 0.9144 m $= 36$ in, 1 in $= 0.0254$ m<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">Similarly, 1 mi $= 1760$ yd. So, 1 mi $= 1760 \\times 0.9144 = 1,609.344$ m<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">So, the relationship between meters and customary units of length are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table eplus-wrapper\"><table class=\"wj-table-class\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Units<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Relationship with meters<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Inch<\/td><td>1 in $= 0.0254$ m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Foot<\/td><td>1 ft $= 0.3048$ m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Yard<\/td><td>1 yd $= 0.9144$ m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mile<\/td><td>1 mi $= 1609.344$ m<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"5-solved-examples-\"><strong>Solved Examples<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\"><strong>1.
