Estimation of dimensions and distances
Estimation is making a guess of the nearly correct calculations and distances, weights, prices or capacity of things without the actual measurements or calculations. Estimations help us to have rough idea of the answer when we add, subtract, multiply or divide any given quantity. Sometimes rounding off and approximations are used in making an estimation.
Examples of estimations are as follows:
When physical quantities are measured, they need to be expressed in standard units of measurement. A unit is therefore a standard used in the measurement of a physical quantity. These physical quantities are length, mass, time, capacity and even currency.
Distances: this is a linear measure of length. The metric system uses multiples of ten to build up its table measurement. The basic unit of length is Metre.
10 millimeter (mm) = 1 centimetre
10 centimeters (cm) = 1 decimetre
10 decimeters (dm) = 1 metre
10 meters (m) = 1 decametre
10 decameters (dam) = 1 hectometre
10 hectometers (hm) = 1 kilometre
