Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (pie [Argentina]) The pie is a traditional foot of Spain. The pie equals 1/3 vara or 12 pulgadas. The Argentine length is 28.89 centimeters or 11.37 inches. Unit Definition (centimeter) The centimeter (or centimetre) was the basic unit of distance in the former CGS (centimeter, gram, second) version of the metric system, equal to 0.01 meter. The engineering standard uses every third power of ten, such as 10e3, 10e9, 10e12, etc., and for small numbers 10e-3, 10e-6, etc. The only exception is the centimeter. "Cent" means a hundredth, or 10e-2, but the centimeter is still commonly used because it is such a convenient unit for measuring length.
