DECIMETRE

A 'decimetre' (American spelling: 'decimeter', symbol 'dm') is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one tenth of a metre, the current SI base unit of length. It can be written in scientific notations as 100×10^-3 m (engineering notation) or 1 E-1 m (exponential notation) — meaning 100 × 1 mm or 1 m / 10 respectively. The ''c'' is pronounced as /s/, unlike in decametre.
