The hectometer (hm) is useful for measuring sports tracks (1 lap = 4 hm), urban blocks (~1–2 hm long), or vineyard rows. Road signs in some European countries use hectometers for minor distance markers. The Meter (m) or (mtr) is used for everyday measurements like room dimensions (3-4 meters), the height of a door (2 meters), or the length of a car (4-5 meters). It's also used in sports, such as the height of a basketball hoop (3.05 meters).
To convert between Hectometer (hm) and Meter (m), use the following formulas:
1 Hectometer (hm) = 100 Meter (m)
1 Meter (m) = 0.01 Hectometer (hm)
1 hm = 1 * 100 m = 100 m
2 hm = 2 * 100 m = 200 m
5 hm = 5 * 100 m = 500 m
10 hm = 10 * 100 m = 1000 m
| Hectometer (hm) | Meter (m) |
|---|---|
| 1 hm | 100 m |
| 2 hm | 200 m |
| 5 hm | 500 m |
| 10 hm | 1000 m |
| 20 hm | 2000 m |
| 50 hm | 5000 m |
