Centimeters (cm): Centimeters are a unit of length in the metric system, commonly used worldwide to measure smaller objects or dimensions. They are used in various fields, from personal height measurements to dimensions of everyday items like tables, picture frames, and even clothing sizes.
Feet (ft): Feet are a unit of length in the imperial system, primarily used in the United States and a few other countries.
