Memory trick · Prashant Sir
Deca = दस, जैसे decimal (दस पर आधारित system) और decagon (दस भुजाओं वाली आकृति)। Decade = दस वर्ष।
Deca means ten, as in decimal, the system built on ten, and decagon, a figure with ten sides. A decade is ten years. Count the decades to know how long a person has been teaching or living somewhere.
