Dekameter
A dekameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "deka-" from the Greek "deka" meaning ten, was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.
Current Use
The dekameter is rarely used in practice. It is sometimes used in meteorology to measure altitude.
Fermi
A fermi is a unit of length equal to a femtometer, which is 10⁻¹⁵ meters.
History/Origin
The fermi is named after the Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi. It was a popular unit in nuclear physics.
Current Use
The femtometer is the officially recognized SI unit, but the fermi is still used informally in nuclear and particle physics.
