Definition (keystage 2)
A prefix meaning to do with ten (like in decagon, decagram, etc). Sometimes we find it together with another prefix, to indicate that we are dealing with a particular number larger than ten. For instance hexadecimal is to do with sixteen, and a dodecagon has twelve sides.
The symbol da is sometimes used, for example one das is a decasecond, or ten seconds.
