About millimetre and inch

Millimetre: A millimetre is one-thousandth of a metre.

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.
