Meters, decimeters and centimeters are all units of measurement for length.

Because 1m= 10dm, 1dm= 10cm.

So1m =1x10dm =1x10x10cm =100cm.

That is, 1 m is equal to 100 cm.

Extended data:

1, international unit of length measurement

(1) The international units of length measurement are micron, millimeter, centimeter, decimeter and meter.

(2) Conversion relationship between units

1 m = 10 decimeter, 1 decimeter = 1 0cm, 1 0mm,1mm = 1000 micron.

1 m = 10 decimeter = 100 cm =10000 mm = 100000 micron.

2. Length measuring tool

Commonly used length measuring tools include gauge block, angle gauge block, polygon prism, sine gauge, caliper, micrometer, dial indicator (see dial indicator and micrometer), multi-tooth indexing table, comparator, laser length measuring instrument, tool microscope, coordinate measuring machine, etc.
