Decametre vs. Imperial units

A decametre or dekametre (American spelling: decameter, earlier dekameter; symbol dam,, This measure is included in the SI mostly for completeness: in principle, any combination of prefix and unit can be written, but many are rarely used in practice. One practical use of the decameter is for altitude of geopotential heights in meteorology. Meteorologists also use another seldom encountered SI prefix: hecto- in hectopascal (hPa).

The square decametre (dam2) also known as the are (a), is the basis for the hectare (100 dam2), the standard metric unit of land registry. The system of imperial units or the imperial system (also known as British Imperial or Exchequer Standards of 1825) is the system of units first defined in the British Weights and Measures Act of 1824, which was later refined and reduced.
