centimeter scale

A centimeter scale is a measuring tool that shows length in centimeters, a unit commonly used for small to medium-sized objects. One centimeter is exactly one hundredth of a meter, roughly the width of a large paperclip. The scale typically features numbered markings at each centimeter and smaller lines for millimeters, allowing precise measurement of objects or distances. It is widely used in education, construction, tailoring, and everyday tasks to determine size accurately. The scale provides a straightforward way to measure lengths, making it an essential tool for precise, practical measurements.
