Are metric measurements like decameters and hectometers ever used?
I've learned about them in school, but I've never heard anyone say something is 8 decameters long or anything like that. I'm an American.

In France "hectare" (10 000m²) is used for fields and burning forest. Beside that deca or hectometers are never used
An hectare is 10.000 m2
And we use hectolitres for wine production
Mb it's 100m*100m
Hectares are also standard in Australia
Nz too apart from old people who still use acres.
