It turns out that decimeters are seldom used in practice. Instead, millimeters, centimeters and meters are normally used. Of course, in theory you could measure any length in decimeters - and especially lengths which are in an appropriate range, somewhere between about 1-100 decimeters.

In a decimeter, you can measure lengths up to 10 centimeters or 0.1 meters. This unit is commonly used to measure smaller lengths such as the height of a book or the width of a cell phone.
