An adult human foot is about 28 cm (11 in) long. The decimetre (SI symbol: dm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −1 metres ( 1 / 10 m = 0.1 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 centimeters and 100 centimeters (10 −1 meter and 1 meter).
