Decimeter (dm): The decimeter is equal to one-tenth of a meter (0.1 meters). It is used less frequently than other metric units but can be encountered in certain applications.
In the United States surveying system, a "link" is a unit of length that is equal to 1/100th of a chain. Each link is approximately 7.92 inches long or about 0.201168 meters. This unit is primarily used in surveying and land measurement in the United States.
Surveyors often use a chain, which is comprised of 100 links, to measure distances in land surveys. The use of links and chains allows for precise measurements of land parcels, boundaries, and property lines.
