Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (hectometer) A hectometre (American spelling: hectometer, symbol: hm) is a measurement of distance equal to 100 metres. This measure is rarely used and is included mostly for completeness, since usage of the SI prefix hecto is no longer recommended. Unit Definition (ri [Japan]) The ri is a traditional Japanese unit of distance, sometimes called the Japanese league because it is of similar length to the European league. The ri equals 2160 ken or 12 960 shaku (the shaku being the Japanese equivalent of the foot). This is about 3927 meters or 2.44 statute miles.
