A paragraph could very well be one sentence, but it could just as easily be a long 20 sentence paragraph. It's usually thought of as being a complete separate thought and containing as many sentences are needed before you reach a natural breaking point to move on to the next paragraph. Hope that helped.
Centi-means one-hundredth, so 1metre = 100 centimeters, therefore 1 decameter = 10 x (100 centimeters) = 1000 centimeters. Hecto-means one hundred, therefore 1 hectometer = 100 meters = 10 decameters. Kilo-means one thousand, of course, so 1 kilometer = 1000 meters, and since 1 hectometer = 100 meters, 1 kilometer = 10 hectometers.
The term hectometer is seldom used. The usual non-astronomical length or distance measurements with the SI system are in nanomâ¦eters, microns (or micrometers), millimeters, meters, and kilometers, each being 1,000 times greater than the previous measurement unit. 1 person found this useful.
