Decimeter

A decimeter (dm) is a unit of length in the metric system. It is equal to one-tenth of a meter, or 10 centimeters (1 dm = 0.1 m = 10 cm). While not as commonly used as centimeters or meters in everyday life, decimeters are still important in scientific and technical measurements. For example, a small book or a tablet might be about 2 to 3 decimeters long. The symbol for decimeter is "dm". Although it sits between the centimeter and meter in size, people often skip using decimeters and go directly from centimeters to meters. Still, it's a helpful unit when you need a mid-sized measurement.

Famn

A famn (also spelled fathom in English) is a traditional Scandinavian unit of length used primarily for measuring the depth of water or length of ropes and cables. It is roughly equivalent to 6 Swedish feet, which translates to about 1.828 meters (approximately 6 feet).

The famn is similar in concept to the English fathom, based on the span of outstretched arms.

While largely obsolete today, the famn was commonly used in maritime contexts in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark and remains part of historical measurements.
