standard lumber dimensions are 3/4 thick and 9 1/4 wide. Some redwood lumber varies slightly usally 5/8 to 11/16 thick and around 9 to 9 1/8 wide. Rough Sawn Cedar trim is usually 7/8 thick and 9 1/2 to 9 3/4 wide

It's supposed to be 10", but that is when it's first cut out of the log it came from. After it dries, it becomes more like 9 1/2 inches. It depends on the moisture content, and the type of wood. If you're talking about hardwoods instead of pine or cedar, then the shrinkage is less. When I need wood for a small project I just take my measuring tape with me to the lumber store and measure on the spot.

Surprisingly, not 1 x 10. The measurement is usualy a nominal measurement. True measurement is usually about 1/4 inch short each way.

A 1x10 is actually 3/4" x 9-1/4".

roughly 9 1/2", but if your really curious, go to the hardware store and measure one.
