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). 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.
To convert between Meter (m) and Hectometer (hm), use the following formulas:
1 Meter (m) = 0.01 Hectometer (hm)
1 Hectometer (hm) = 100 Meter (m)
1 m = 1 * 0.01 hm = 0.01 hm
3 m = 3 * 0.01 hm = 0.03 hm
5 m = 5 * 0.01 hm = 0.05 hm
7 m = 7 * 0.01 hm = 0.07 hm
10 m = 10 * 0.01 hm = 0.1 hm
20 m = 20 * 0.01 hm = 0.2 hm
100 m = 100 * 0.01 hm = 1 hm
| Meter (m) | Hectometer (hm) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 m | 0.001 hm |
| 1 m | 0.01 hm |
| 5 m | 0.05 hm |
| 10 m | 0.1 hm |
| 50 m | 0.5 hm |
| 100 m | 1 hm |
| 200 m | 2 hm |
| 500 m | 5 hm |
