Hectometer
A hectometer is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 100 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "hecto-" from the Greek "hekaton" meaning hundred, was part of the original metric system adopted in France in 1795.
Current Use
The hectometer is not a widely used unit of length in English-speaking countries. It is sometimes used in surveying and for marking distances on highways in some countries.
Chain (Us Survey)
A U.S. survey chain is a unit of length equal to 66 U.S. survey feet.
History/Origin
