10m

10m denotes a length of ten metres. The metre (m) is the base unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). Since 1983, the metre is defined by fixing the speed of light in vacuum: one metre is the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second; ten metres is ten times that length.

Conversions: 10 m = 1000 cm = 10,000 mm; 0.01 km. In imperial units, this is about 39.37

Uses and context: ten metres is a common reference length in science, engineering, construction, and sports.

Relation to other units: 1 dam (decameter) equals 10 m, making the decameter a direct multiple of
