        Larger lengths like lengths  of  table,  bus,  etc.  are
        measured in metres.

        We use a measuring tape to measure length in metres.

        In short, metre is written as m.
















                              3 m                                                     2 m

                The length of car is about 3 m.                            The length of table is 2 m.
