Why did the builder write these measurements using millimetres instead of cm or m?​

Answer 1

Check the answer below.

Explanation:

This is a very trivial but professional question. Note that all of millimetre, centimetre and metres are acceptable metric units but the millimetre is more preferable by builders and architects because:

1. It is easier to work with integer values on building and architectural plans, an advantage given by measuring and recording in millimetre.

2. working in millimetre allows for precision. The builder will record values that are very close to the true value

3. The measurement will be easily readable by anybody that sees it.
