What are Decimeter and Yard

Definition of Decimeter

A decimeter (dm) is a metric unit of length, equal to one tenth of a meter. The term originates from the Latin 'deci' meaning 'tenth' and 'meter', the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Decimeters are commonly used in countries that have adopted the metric system and are ideal for measuring objects of moderate size.

Definition of Yard

A yard (yd) is a unit of length in both the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is equal to 3 feet or 36 inches. Historically, the term 'yard' derives from the Old English word 'gyrd', which referred to a branch or rod used as a measuring tool. Today, the yard is widely used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other countries that utilize the imperial system.
