What is Decimeter ?

A Decimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, abbreviated as "dm". It is equal to one-tenth of a meter, which means there are 10 decimeters in one meter.

Decimeter is about the length of a small ruler or the width of an adult hand. It's larger than a centimeter but smaller than a meter. Decimeters are commonly used for measuring relatively short distances in everyday situations, such as the height of a desk, the width of a bookshelf, or the length of a small object.

In summary, a decimeter is a convenient metric unit that falls between centimeters and meters, making it useful for measuring moderate lengths where precision is needed but centimeters are too small and meters too large.


What is Chain ?

A Chain is a unit of length used primarily in land surveying and historical measurement systems. It is equal to 66 feet or 22 yards, which is approximately 20.1168 meters.

Historically, chains were used to measure and demarcate land for purposes such as mapping, property boundaries, and construction. They were laid out in a straight line and used alongside other surveying tools to create accurate maps and plans.

In modern times, while the use of chains has diminished with the adoption of metric and standard measurement systems, the term "chain" persists in certain contexts, especially in older land deeds and historical documents. It remains a reminder of traditional surveying methods and the importance of precise measurements in land management and development.
