About the centimeter and the yard
The centimeter
The centimeter (cm) is a metric unit of length equal to one-hundredth of a meter. It is the most common everyday unit outside the US for measuring small to mid-sized objects, body dimensions like height when stated in metric, fabric, and TV diagonals. A US quarter coin is about 2.4 cm wide; an average adult thumb is around 6 cm long.
The yard
The yard (yd) is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems, defined as exactly 0.9144 meters (3 feet). It is used in American football field measurements, fabric and textile retail, and many landscaping contexts. The international yard was harmonized with the imperial yard in 1959.
