What do these signs mean?

Quantities to Measure• Length – Extent of something from end to end.

– SI units: Centimeter (cm)

– English units: inch (in)

– 1.0 in = 2.54 cm

• Area – Extent of a surface.– SI units: Square centimeters (cm2)

– English units: Square inches (in2)

• Volume – Space occupied by an object.– SI units: Cubic centimeters (cm3)

– English units: Cubic inches (in3)

• Mass – The amount of material making up an object. Measured with a balance.– SI units: Kilogram (kg) or grams (g)

– English units: slugs

– 1 Kg = 0.0685 slugs
