A metric unit of length equal to ten meters, also called a decameter.
From Greek 'deka-' (ten) and 'meter' (from Greek 'metron,' a measure). This standard metric unit follows the decimal system.
A dekameter is the length of a basketball court plus a few meters—it's one of those metric units that exists but nobody really uses because it's too small for long distances and too big for everyday objects.
