Meters

The metre is the SI base unit of length, defined since 1983 as the distance light travels in a vacuum in exactly 1/299,792,458 of a second, anchoring its definition to a universal physical constant rather than any material artefact. Introduced by the French Academy of Sciences in 1791 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole, the metre became the cornerstone of the metric system and is today the official unit of length in every country that has adopted SI. In science and engineering, virtually all derived units of length, area, volume, and many physical quantities are expressed in terms of the metre.

Inches

The inch is a unit of length equal to exactly 25.4 millimetres, standardised under the international yard and pound agreement of 1959. It is the standard unit for screen diagonal measurements in consumer electronics, tire widths, pipe diameters in plumbing, and calibre in firearms. In typography, one inch contains exactly 72 PostScript points, fundamental to digital print and graphic design.
