Which metric unit equals 100 meters (m)?

Decimeter
Hectometer
Kilometer
Centimeter

The correct answer is: Hectometer

The correct answer is indeed the unit that represents 100 meters, which is the hectometer. The metric system is based on powers of ten, which simplifies conversions between units. A hectometer is defined as 100 meters, making it directly equivalent. This measurement is particularly useful in contexts where distances are moderate, such as in agriculture or land measurements. Other units, like the decimeter (which equals 0.1 meters), kilometer (which equals 1,000 meters), and centimeter (which equals 0.01 meters), represent different values that do not correspond to 100 meters. Therefore, knowing the relationships among these metric units is essential for accurate measurement and conversion.
