What metric prefix is between deka and kilo?

Answer 1

Dekameter, one dekameter is equal to 100 meters.

Deca is the prefix for 10, one decametre is ten metres, one decalitre is ten litres. Having lived for over forty years in a metric country I have never seen it used in real life. Similarly deci for a tenth, and hecto for one hundred are never used. Centi for one hundredth is only used for centimetres, except for some wine bottles which use centilitres.

Answer 2

Deca, with a c, is the prefix for ten, so a decametre is ten metres. Deca is never used these days. Modern metric moves up and down in thousands, milli, base, kilo.

Between the obsolete deca and the kilo is the hect, standing for one hundred. Again this is now obsolete, it is only used with the are, as the hectare. The hectare is no longer used to measure area, this is now officially measured in square metres, and has been since 1960, although hectares are still referred to in common speech.

Answer 3

The metric prefix between deka and kilo is hecto. It represents 100 times the base unit.

Answer 4

it means the factor times ten.

Answer 5

da or D
