Convert metre to hectometre
Metre
The metre (Commonwealth spelling and BIPM spelling) or metre (American spelling) (from the French unit mètre, from the Greek noun μετρούν, "measure") is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The SI unit symbol is m. The metre is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
The metre was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole along a great circle, so the Earth's circumference is approximately 40000 km. In 1799, the metre was redefined in terms of a prototype metre bar (the actual bar used was changed in 1889). In 1960, the metre was redefined in terms of a certain number of wavelengths of a certain emission line of krypton-86. In 1983, the current definition was adopted.
Hectometre
The hectometre (SI symbol: hm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to one hundred metres, derived from the metre using the SI prefix hecto-. While not among the most commonly used metric units in everyday contexts, it appears in agriculture, aviation, and certain European measurement traditions. One hectometre is equal to 0.1 kilometres or approximately 328 feet.
