What are Centimeter and Dekameter

A centimeter is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one hundredth of a meter. It is a standard unit for measuring small distances and is widely used in various scientific, engineering, and everyday contexts. The centimeter is ideal for precise measurements due to its small scale and is commonly used in documents like blueprints and maps.

A dekameter, sometimes spelled decameter, is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to ten meters. It is not as commonly used as other metric units but serves a purpose when dealing with measurements between the scale of a meter and a hectometer. The dekameter is particularly useful in fields like geology and topography where larger areas are measured.
