Centimeter (cm): The centimeter is equal to one one-hundredth of a meter (0.01 meters). It is commonly used for measuring shorter lengths, such as the height of a person or the dimensions of objects.
A perch is a unit of length that was historically used in some English-speaking countries, primarily in the United Kingdom. It is equivalent to 5.5 yards or 16.5 feet (about 5.0292 meters). The term "perch" is relatively old and is not commonly used in modern measurements.
Perches were often used in land measurement, particularly in agriculture and real estate. They were also sometimes used in surveying. However, the use of the perch as a standard unit of measurement has largely been replaced by more modern and standardized systems such as the metric system or the imperial system based on feet and yards. As a result, the perch is considered an archaic or historical unit of measurement today.
