Decameters

Definition: A decameter (dam) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 meters.

History: The decameter was introduced with the metric system, though it is not widely used in everyday life. It can sometimes be found in geodesy, surveying, and meteorology for measuring precipitation levels.

Meters

Definition: A meter (m) is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds.

History: The meter was originally defined in 1793 as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. In 1983, it was redefined in terms of the speed of light to ensure greater precision in scientific measurements.
