A furlong, in today’s standard, means one-eighth of a mile and is typically equal to two hundred and twenty yards; it remains in use and has applications in horse racing and in agricultural measurements. History of fur: Due to the commercial use of furlong as a base length of land, it got standardized and defined by the early 14th century to be 220 yards or 660 feet which is precisely 1/8 of a mile.

What is a Decameter?
Definition: A Decameter (symbol: dam) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). The decameter whose sign is indicated as 'dam' is one of the few distinctive standards of length in the metric system and equals ten meters. Although it is a rare unit that hardly comes up in peoples’ day-to-day activities. the decameter is quite useful when measuring mid-range distances as meters would seem too small while kilometers would be too large to measure. History of dam: A decimeter is a measurement that is ten times larger than a meter: the ten meters were adopted as part of the metric system during the late 18th century French Revolution. This was mainly because, at that period, different regions used inconsistent units of measurement in order to trade or even communicate scientific findings. France introduced revolutionary ideas into the standardization attempts, and in 1791, the French Academy of Science introduced the metric system - a rational, and a decimal-based system that stood for the universal one.
