A decimeter is 1/10 of a meter (a meter is about 39.37 inch-a little over a yard, so a decimeter is about 3.937 inch). A decimeter is 10 centimeters, or about 3.9 inches. A deka/deca meter is equal to 10 meters/10.9361 yards.
Decimeters are very rarely used. Instead, someone may refer to "10 centimeters" or 10cm (a centimeter is 1/100 of a meter, or about 0.39 inches).
