WHAT DOES DEKAMETER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Decametre

A decametre or dekametre is a very rarely used unit of length in the metric system, equal to ten metres, the SI base unit of length. It can be written in scientific notation as 1 E+1 m, meaning 10 × 1 m. This measure is included in the SI mostly for completeness: in principle, any combination of prefix and unit is permissible, but many are rarely used in practice. One practical use of the decameter is for altitude of geopotential heights in meteorology. Meteorologists also use another seldom encountered SI prefix: hecto- in hectopascal. The volumetric form cubic decametre is convenient for describing large volumes of water such as in rivers and lakes. ▪ For surface the square decametre is a common unit, albeit by the name are. The are is a measurement of area the size of 1 decametre by 1 decametre — the square decametre — 10 metres by 10 metres, equalling 100 square metres. The standard metric unit of land registry, the hectare, is thus equivalent to 100 dam2. ▪ For volumes the cubic decametre is also used, 10 m by 10 m by 10 m, equalling 1,000 cubic metres. One cubic decametre is equal to 0.
