Metric Units

1) Length    mm, cm, m, km

2) Area      mm^2, cm^2, m^2, km^2

3) Volume  mm^3, cm^3, m^3, km^3

4) Weight    g, kg, tonnes

5) Speed     km/h, m/s

MEMORISE:

1cm = 10mm                     1 tonne = 1000kg

1m = 100cm                      1 litre = 1000ml

1km = 1000cm                   1 litre = 1000cm^3

1kg = 1000g                      1cm^3 = 1ml
