What are Decimeter and Acre

A decimeter is a metric unit of length equal to one-tenth of a meter. It is a less common unit than the meter, centimeter, or millimeter but is still used in certain contexts. The decimeter can be a useful unit for measuring objects that are smaller than a meter but larger than a centimeter, providing a middle ground for precision and practicality in measurement.

An acre is a unit of area commonly used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries that have adopted the Imperial or US customary systems of measurement. It is traditionally defined as the area of one chain by one furlong (66 by 660 feet), which is exactly equal to 1/640 of a square mile, about 40% of a hectare, or 4,840 square yards.
