Hectometers (hm)
Definition
A hectometer (hm) is a metric unit of length equal to 100 meters.
History
The hectometer is part of the metric prefix system. While rarely used as a standalone unit, it is inherent in the hectare (1 ha = 1 hm²), one of the most widely used land measurement units.
Current use
Hectometers are seldom used directly but are implicit in hectare measurements for agriculture and land management. They occasionally appear in distance markers along European roadways.
Miles (mi)
Definition
A mile (mi) is an imperial unit of length equal to 5,280 feet, 1,760 yards, or approximately 1.60934 kilometers.
History
The mile originated from the Roman 'mille passus' (a thousand paces). The statute mile of 5,280 feet was established by English Parliament in 1593 and remains the standard in the US and UK.
Current use
Miles are the primary unit for road distances and speed limits in the United States, United Kingdom, and a few other countries. They are also used in running events (the mile run) and informal distance references.
