Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the metric system uses specific units to measure different physical quantities. Length is one such quantity measured in units like millimeters, centimeters, and meters.
Recall the common metric units for length: millimeter (mm), centimeter (cm), and meter (m). These are all derived from the base unit meter and are used to measure distance or length.
Identify the unit 'liter' and recognize that it is a unit of volume, not length. The liter measures the amount of space an object or substance occupies.
Compare all the given options and note that millimeter, centimeter, and meter are units of length, while liter is not.
Conclude that the unit 'liter' is NOT used to measure length in the metric system, making it the correct answer to the question.
