The metric system is a system of units for measurement developed in late 18th century France by the chemist Lavoisier to replace the disparate systems of measures then in use with a unified, natural and universal system. In the early metric system there were several fundamental or base units, the grad or grade for angles, the . System of measurement based on the decimal or powers of 10. The word ’metric’ comes from the French word for ‘measure’. Official name of the metric system is the . international system of measurements. Metric System The metric system is based on a base unit that corresponds to a certain kind of measurement Base unit for length = meter Base unit for volume = liter Base unit for mass = gram A prefixes plus a base unit makes up the metric system Why were the teachers eyes crossed 12345678910111213141516171819202122232425262913141222711182635419246825151016201212317Answer Key for Metric System Challenge1 Triple The basic unit of length in the metric system All units of length in the metric system are derivedone hundredth1 centimeter1 one-hundredth of a meter10001 kilometer km1000 meters mhecto-1001 hectomete All scientific measurements are made using the Metric System..
