What are Decimeter and Chain

Definition of Decimeter

A decimeter is a metric unit of length that equals one-tenth of a meter. Represented as 'dm', it is a common unit used in various measurements and is equivalent to 10 centimeters or 100 millimeters. Decimeters provide a convenient scale for measuring smaller objects that do not require the precision of centimeters or millimeters.

Definition of Chain

A chain is a unit of length that measures 66 feet or 22 yards. Historically used in land surveying, one chain is comprised of 100 links, which were literally the links of a chain carried by surveyors. It is equivalent to 4 rods, poles, or perches, and there are 10 chains in a furlong, demonstrating its historical significance in measuring agricultural plots and fields.
