Decimeters measure length or distance. One decimeter is equal to 0.1 meters, or 10 centimeters. It is typically used for shorter measurements or in contexts where a more precise measurement than meters is needed.
To estimate square decimeters, measure the length and width of the object in decimeters and multiply the two values together. This will give you the area in square decimeters. If the measurements are in different units, convert them to decimeters before multiplying.
Liters can't be converted to decimeters. Liters measure volume, while decimeters measure length.
Centimeters is a measure of length, cubic decimeters is a measure of volume. The two can not be equated.
You would use centimeters (cm) to measure the circumference of a dinner plate.
You could measure a skateboard in decimeters. Remember, 1dm=10cm.
decimeters
Milliliters measure volume, and decimeters measure length. You can't convert from one unit to the other.
There are no decimeters in a teaspoon. A teaspoon may be a measure of volume and a decimeter is a measure of length. That does not go together.

Decimeter is a measure of length and a liter is a measure of volume. Not the same.
measure the millimeters and divide by 100. Or measure the meters and multiply by 10.
Meters are closer to what you would measure an animal of that size with.
