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.


League


A league is an old unit of distance that was commonly used in the past, especially for measuring distances on land or sea. Traditionally, one league equals about 3 miles or roughly 4.8 kilometers. The exact length of a league could vary by country and time period. It was often used by sailors and travelers to describe how far they had gone. Although the league is mostly obsolete today, it still appears in literature and historical contexts.
