1 decimeter = 3.93700787 inches or 10 cm Anything that is around a foot or bigger.
You would use to measure decimeter is a ruler.
i would use inches
A scale.
You would use Volume.
It depends how tall the house is
decimeters
The best unit to measure the height of a house would be meters. Meters are commonly used for measuring the height of buildings and structures due to their practicality and ease of understanding. Centimeters would be too small a unit for measuring the height of a house, while decimeters and kilometers would be too large for this purpose.
Meters are closer to what you would measure an animal of that size with.
One could use either, but it would make more sense to use meters.
You would use to measure decimeter is a ruler.
i would use inches
milimeters

0.48 has 2 significant figures and 0.4800 has 4 significant figures. The correct answer would depend on the device used to measure the string, and on the precision of that instrument.
When the object is larger than the ruler.
To convert dm3 (cubic decimeters) to m2 (square meters), you need to consider the difference in dimensions. Cubic decimeters measure volume, while square meters measure area. Since volume and area are different concepts, direct conversion is not possible. You would need additional information, such as the height or depth of the object, to convert dm3 to m2.
