International System of Units (SI) METRIC System Prefix Measurement Wheel

On 7 April, 1795, the metric system was formally defined in French law. The unit of length, the mètre, was defined as one ten-millionth of the distance between the North Pole and the Equator through Paris. Today, the International System of Units, (SI), is the most widely used system of measurement.
