Abstract: Grade 10: Physics. Imagine you had to make curtains and needed to buy fabric. The shop assistant would need to know how much fabric was required. Telling her you need fabric 2 wide and 6 long would be insufficient -- you have to specify the unit (i.e. 2 metres wide and 6 metres long). Without the unit the information is incomplete and the shop assistant would have to guess. If you were making curtains for a doll's house the dimensions might be 2 centimetres wide and 6 centimetres long!
