hehtometri

Hehtometri is a unit of length in the metric system. It is equal to one hundred meters. The prefix "hecto" is derived from the Greek word "hekaton," meaning one hundred. A hehtometri is often abbreviated as hm. For example, 1 hm is equivalent to 100 m. This unit is commonly used in surveying and engineering to measure distances over land. It is also encountered in meteorology, where it can be used to describe altitudes or distances. While not as frequently used as kilometers or meters in everyday contexts, the hehtometri provides a convenient intermediate scale for specific applications. To convert other units to hehtometri, one would divide meters by 100 or kilometers by 0.1. Conversely, to convert hehtometri to meters, multiply by 100.
