Conversions between units in the metric system are defined by their prefixes (for example, 1 kilogram = 1000 grams, 1 milligram = 0.001 grams) and are thus not listed in this article. Exceptions are made if the unit is commonly known by another name (for example, 1 micron = 10 −6 metre).
Taiwanese length units and the translation of length units in metric system (SI) shares the same character. The adjective Taiwanese ( 台 ) can be added to address the Taiwanese unis system. For example, 台尺 means Taiwanese foot and 公尺 means meter .
For example, the NIST document has 1 square mile = 2.589 988 E+06 square meters. The convert template has 1 square mile = 2,589,988.110336 square meters. Values for the fundamental physical constants come from the NIST Reference on Constants, Units, and Uncertainty , either the 2010 or the 2014 version.

South Korea signed the Metre Convention in 1959 [10] and notionally adopted the metric system under Park Chung Hee on 10 May 1961, [11] [12] with a strict law banning the use of the Korean pound, li, gwan, and don [13] effective as of 1 January 1964 [11] and—after metric conversion of the land registries—the pyeong.

In Guatemala, the linear vara is 0.8421 meters. (The length of vara varies slightly among different Latin American countries.) One cuerda of 50 x 50 varas = 1,746.84 square meters (18,802.8 sq ft) One cuerda of 40 x 40 varas = 1,117.98 square meters (12,033.8 sq ft) One cuerda of 30 x 30 varas = 628.87 square meters (6,769.1 sq ft)
[46] [47] However, many units of measure, such as the livre (for half a kilogram), remained in everyday use for many years, [47] [48] and to a residual extent up to this day.
