What is a meter?
The meter is the SI base unit of length. Since 1983 it has been defined as the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. It is a little longer than a yard: one meter is about 1.0936 yards or 3.2808 feet.
What is a decimeter?
The decimeter is one tenth of a meter, or 10 cm. It is rarely used in conversation but common in school exercises and in volume work, because a cube one decimeter on each side holds exactly one liter.
