Chapter 5, Problem 63A

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The unit of the length in the metric system that is most appropriate in size for measuring the dimension of a page should be explained.

Concept Introduction :

The most common units for measuring the length are, millimeter, centimeter, meter and kilometer in the metric system.

Millimeter: It is the lowest unit of the length among four, which is used for measuring those objects which are smaller than one centimeter.

Centimeter: It is next smallest unit of length and it is used for the measuring the length of those objects whose length of a ruler or smaller.

Meters: for measuring everything between the length of a ruler and the distance between things in a room, meter unit is used.

Kilometers: it the largest measuring unit of length which is used for measuring the long distances.

Answer to Problem 63A

The dimension of a page is measured in the millimeter and centimeter.

Explanation of Solution

The dimension of a page is measured in the millimeter and centimeter both. Millimeter is used to measure the thickness of the paper because it is used for measuring those objects which are smaller than one centimeter and length and width can be measured in centimeter.
