Well, centimetre and millimetre both are same smaller unit than the metre.

So, to convert from metre to millimetre a centimetre, we have to multiply by a number greater than 1 .

1m = 100cm

1m = 1000mm

So multiply by 100 or 10^2 to convert from metre to centimetre .

And multiply by 1000 or 10^3 to convert from metre to millimetre .

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer from: zafarm2oxgpmx

Converting from meter to centimeter uses a exponent of 2 and converting from meter to millimeter uses a exponent of 3

Solution:

The different units of length conversion charts are given as:

kilometre (km)

Hectometre (hm)

Decametre (dam)

Metre (m)

Decimetre (dm)

Centimetre (cm)

millimeter (m)

Converting from meters to centimeters:

From above listed units, we can observe meter is bigger unit than centimeter

So to convert from meter to centimeter, we have to move two times to reach centimeter in above listed units

So we have to multiply the value by 100 or 10 to power 2

1 meter = 100 cm

1 meter = 10^2 cm

So converting from meter to centimeter uses a exponent of 2

Converting from meter to millimeter:

Similarly using the above chart, we can say millimeter is smaller than meter.

So to convert from meter to millimeter, we have to move three times to reach millimeter in above listed units

In this, when we convert from meter to millimeter, we have to multiply the value by 1000

1 meter = 1000 millimeter

1 meter = 10^3 millimeter

So converting from meter to millimeter uses a exponent of 3

Answer from: Quest

$w\geq 14$

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

$2l+2w\geq 40$

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

$2\times 6+2w\geq 40$

now, we can solve for w

$12+2w\geq 40$

subtract both sides by 12

$12+2w-12\geq 40-12$

$2w\geq 28$

divide both sides by 2

and we get

$w\geq 14$

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
