Because inch is the unit to describe the length, the inch is first converted into the length in centimeters. First of all, we know that the conversion relationship between inch and centimeter is 1 inch = 3.33 cm, then 16 inch ×3.33 cm = 53.28 cm; So 16 inch refers to the length, which is 53.28 cm.

Inches are units of length measurement. The length of China is measured in kilometers, miles, meters, microns, millimeters, meters, feet and inches. The conversion units are: ten inches equals one foot, three feet equals one meter, ten feet equals ten feet, five hundred meters equals one mile, and one kilometer equals one kilometer. In daily life, distance is usually expressed in miles or kilometers. For example, Liaoyang is 60 kilometers away from Shenyang, and track events are generally expressed in meters, such as sprint 100 meters and running 5000 meters. Generally, buying cloth is expressed by size, such as making pants for children and buying 3 feet 8 inches.

Brief introduction of length unit

The unit of length refers to the basic unit for measuring spatial distance, which is formulated by human beings to standardize the length. Its international unit is "meter" (symbol "m"), and commonly used units are millimeter (mm), centimeter (cm), decimeter (dm), kilometer (km), meter (m), micron (micron) and nanometer (nm). Length units play an important role in various fields.

When measuring the length of a line segment, you need to select a line segment as the measurement standard and specify its length as 1, which is called the length unit. There are many units in length, the main unit is meter, and the rest are derived units. When measuring, choose the appropriate length unit according to the actual needs. For example, the length of the runway is in meters, the distance between two cities is in kilometers, and the distance of long jump is in centimeters.
