The decimetre (SI symbol: dm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −1 metres ( 1 / 10 m = 0.1 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude , this section lists lengths between 10 centimeters and 100 centimeters (10 −1 meter and 1 meter).
His coffin measured 10 ft 9 in (3.28 m) long by 2 ft 8 in (0.81 m) wide by 2 ft 6 in (0.76 m) deep, weighed over 1,000 lb (450 kg), and was carried by twelve pallbearers and eight assistants. [ 1 ] [ 13 ] [ 14 ] He was buried at Oakwood Cemetery in Alton, Illinois .
A broad-gauge railway is a railway with a track gauge (the distance between the rails) broader than the 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) used by standard-gauge railways.. Broad gauge of 1,520 mm (4 ft 11 + 27 ⁄ 32 in), more known as Russian gauge, is the dominant track gauge in former Soviet Union countries (CIS states, Baltic states, Georgia, Ukraine) and Mongolia.
The Egyptian equivalent of the foot—a measure of four palms or 16 digits—was known as the djeser and has been reconstructed as about 30 cm (11.8 in). The Greek foot (πούς, pous) had a length of 1 / 600 of a stadion, [12] one stadion being about 181.2 m (594 ft); [13] therefore a foot was, at the time, about 302 mm (11.9 in). Its ...
Chart illustrating the increase in height of racehorses, from 14 hh (142 cm) in 1700 to 15. 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 hh (159 cm) in 1900. Today the hand is used to measure the height of horses, [2] ponies, and other equines. It is used in the US and also in some other nations that use the metric system, such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland and
