About These Units

About Decimeter

A decimetre (American spelling: decimeter, symbol dm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one tenth of a metre, the current SI base unit of length. It can be written in scientific notations as 100×10-3 m (engineering notation) or 1 E-1 m (exponential notation) — meaning 100 × 1 mm or 1 m / 10 respectively. The c is pronounced as /s/, unlike in decametre. It should be noted that a cubic decimetre, which is a measurement of volume, is equivalent to one litre.

About Handbreadth

The handbreadth, also known as tefach in Hebrew, is a biblical and ancient unit of length equal to the breadth of a hand. In biblical measurements, one handbreadth equals 4 digits (fingers) and 6 handbreadths equal one cubit. This natural measurement has been used across many ancient cultures for practical everyday measurements.
