Points

Definition: A point (pt) is a unit of length commonly used in typography, equal to 1/72 of an inch or approximately 0.353 millimeters.

History: The point system was developed in the 18th century to standardize type sizes in printing. The most widely used system today is the PostScript point, defined as exactly 1/72 of an inch, popularized by digital typesetting.

Decameters

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.
