Ell

An ell is a historical unit of length that was commonly used in medieval Europe, especially for measuring textiles and cloth. Its length varied by region but was typically about 45 inches (approximately 1.143 meters).

The ell originated from the length of the arm or forearm and was often used by tailors and merchants to measure fabric. Different countries had their own versions—for example, the English ell was about 45 inches, while the Scottish ell was longer, around 37 inches.

Although obsolete today, the ell played an important role in trade and clothing production before standardized measurements became widespread.

The ell is now largely of historical interest but reflects the origins of many modern measurement systems.

Centimeter

A centimeter (cm) is a unit of length in the metric system. It is commonly used to measure small objects or short distances. One centimeter is equal to one-hundredth of a meter, meaning 100 centimeters make 1 meter. In everyday life, centimeters are used to measure height, the size of books, or dimensions of furniture. For example, a pencil might be about 15 cm long. The symbol for centimeter is "cm", and it is widely used around the world, especially in countries that follow the metric system. Rulers and measuring tapes often include centimeter markings to help with precise measurements. The centimeter is a practical and easy-to-use unit that helps in getting accurate sizes for various items.
