      Decameter is 10 meter, not 10 kilometer. 10km would be a myriadmeter. (SI prefix names are based on greek, and myriad is the greek-based name for 10 000).

        i did correct myself like 3 minutes after posting

        but according to wikipedia there is no prefix for 10 000 in the SI system. only for 1 000 and 1 000 000
