The Decimeter (dm) in Length

What is Decimeter (dm)

A decimeter (dm) is a metric unit of length that is equal to one-tenth of a meter, or 0.1 meters. The metric system, which includes the decimeter, is based on powers of ten, making it easy to convert between units. The decimeter is particularly useful in fields that require precise measurements such as engineering, science, and everyday applications.

In terms of its relationship with other length units, the decimeter serves as a bridge between smaller units like centimeters and larger ones like meters. To understand its relative size, consider that one decimeter equals ten centimeters (cm) or 100 millimeters (mm).
