A decimeter (dm) is a unit of length in the metric system. It equals one-tenth of a meter. It is often used in contexts where a finer measure than the meter is required, but without resorting to centimeters or millimeters. A cubic decimeter (dm³), then, is a volume measure that represents the volume of a cube with sides of one decimeter.

A cord is a unit of measurement for firewood and pulpwood in the United States and Canada. It is defined as a stack of wood that is 8 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 4 feet high, or 128 cubic feet.
