Newtum's Section to Square Dekameter Converter is a precise tool that simplifies the conversion from sections to square dekameters (sec to dam^2) for seamless land area calculations.
A section is a term used in U.S. land surveying, referring to an area of land that is one square mile in size, equivalent to 640 acres, or approximately 2.59 square kilometers.
Definition of SquareDekameterA square dekameter (dam^2) is a metric unit of area measurement. One square dekameter is equal to an area that is ten meters on each side, thus covering a total of 100 square meters.
| Section (sec) | Square Dekameter (dam^2) |
|---|---|
| 0.01 sec | 258.9988 dam^2 |
| 0.1 sec | 2589.988 dam^2 |
| 0.25 sec | 6474.97 dam^2 |
| 0.5 sec | 12949.94 dam^2 |
| 1 sec | 25899.88 dam^2 |
| 2 sec | 51799.76 dam^2 |
| 5 sec | 129499.4 dam^2 |
| 10 sec | 258998.8 dam^2 |
| 25 sec | 647497 dam^2 |
| 50 sec | 1294994 dam^2 |
Example 1:
Convert 1 section to square dekameters:
1 sec = 640 acres = 258.9988 dam^2
Example 2:
Convert 0.5 section to square dekameters:
0.5 sec = 320 acres = 12949.94 dam^2
