What is a centimeter?

A centimeter (cm) is a metric unit of length equal to one hundredth of a meter, commonly used for measuring everyday objects and small distances.

What is the long reed unit used for?

The long reed is a traditional unit historically used in land measurement and surveying, now obsolete and mostly relevant for historical research.

Can I use this converter for precise modern measurements?

No, since the long reed varied historically, the conversion is approximate and should be used mainly for interpreting old records.
