About metre and inch
Metre: The metre is the SI base unit of length, from which every other unit here is defined.
Inch: An inch is exactly 2.54 cm (1/12 of a foot).
The metric units (km, m, cm, mm, µm) are exact by definition, and the imperial units (mile, yard, foot, inch, nautical mile) use their exact international values. Traditional units (hand, span, finger, cubit, rod/pole, link, rope, ken, league) are given at their commonly accepted standard sizes — historical local values sometimes differed, so confirm against a primary source before relying on them for legal or historical work.
