Do you mean a linear metre? That's a technical way of saying a metre in length. It's like if you have a straight line on the ground that's 3 metres long, it's three linear metres. It's so people don't get confused between square metres (area) and cubic metres(volume).

AFRIKA described this very well, but it should be noted one of the definitions of lineal is the "act" of measuring a line.
The answer may well be expressed as a linear amount as in "1 linear metre long"

It is actually called a linear metre and it is just a metre in a straight line, 100cm or 100 millimetres.

it is mesured in a straight distance, like Im 6 ft tall , I'm 2 meters tall. a square meter is 3x3. lineal is just the straight distance.

Do you own a "Yard Stick"? That is a linear "Yard". A "Linear Meter" is the same thing, it is just a metric measurement. It is the "Running Length" of a stick, board, or driveway.
