About Decimeter (dm) and Chain (ch) Units

The Decimeter (dm) is useful for medium-sized objects like the length of a notebook (2-3 dm), the height of a water bottle (2.5 dm), or the width of a laptop (3-4 dm). Often used in education and everyday measurements. The Chain (Gunter's chain) was fundamental in surveying the American frontier. Measuring 66 feet (4 rods), it's the length of a cricket pitch. Ten square chains make an acre. Modern surveyors still reference chains in legal descriptions, and the unit remains visible in rural road layouts across the US.
