What are Dekameter and Perch

Definition of Dekameter

A dekameter, often abbreviated as dam, is a unit of length in the metric system equal to ten meters. It is not commonly used in everyday measurements but can be helpful in land measurement and larger-scale mapping. One dekameter is equivalent to 10 meters, or 33.3 feet, making it a convenient unit for calculating areas of larger spaces, such as fields or plots of land.

Definition of Perch

A perch is a traditional unit of area that is commonly used in real estate and land measurement, particularly in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is equivalent to a square rod, or 1/160th of an acre. Historically, the term perch was also used for linear measurements (5.5 yards), and as a volume measure (known as a perch of stone). While less common today, the perch remains in use for certain types of land transactions.
