yes a decimeter is ten times the length of a centimeter or is ten centimeters
'Square centimeter' is a unit of area, and 'centimeter' is a unit of length. There's no way to compare them, any more than its possible to compare the size of a gallon to the size of a foot.
1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 5 centimeters is more longer than that.
A pencil's length is quite a bit more than either; a pencil's diameter is several millimeters, but less than a centimeter (unless you're talking about an oversized novelty pencil, or the kind that they make kindergarten students use).
A micrometer is ten thousand times shorter than a centimeter, hence, 2.5 centimeters = 25,000 micrometers.
