Hectometers (hm)
Definition
A hectometer (hm) is a metric unit of length equal to 100 meters.
History
The hectometer is part of the metric prefix system. While rarely used as a standalone unit, it is inherent in the hectare (1 ha = 1 hm²), one of the most widely used land measurement units.
Current use
Hectometers are seldom used directly but are implicit in hectare measurements for agriculture and land management. They occasionally appear in distance markers along European roadways.
Yards (yd)
Definition
A yard (yd) is an imperial unit of length equal to 3 feet or exactly 0.9144 meters.
History
The yard has medieval English origins — King Henry I reportedly defined it as the distance from his nose to his outstretched thumb. It was standardized internationally in 1959 to exactly 0.9144 meters.
Current use
Yards are used in American football field measurements, golf course distances, fabric and textile sales, landscaping, and some construction contexts in the United States and United Kingdom.
