What are Dekameter and Decimeter

Definition of Dekameter

A dekameter, symbolized as dam, is a unit of length in the metric system equal to ten meters. It is not commonly used in daily measurements but is recognized in fields that require larger metric units without resorting to kilometers. One dekameter equals 10 meters, 1000 centimeters, or 10000 millimeters, making it a convenient measure for mid-scale distances or dimensions.

Definition of Decimeter

A decimeter, represented as dm, is a metric unit of length equivalent to one-tenth of a meter. It is often used to measure smaller objects that require more precision than a meter but are larger than centimeters. With 10 centimeters in a decimeter, it serves as a useful unit in various scientific, engineering, and everyday contexts where intermediate metric measurements are needed.

Dekameter to Decimeter Conversion Table

Square Dekameter (dam^2) Square Decimeter (dm^2)
0.01 dam^2 100 dm^2
0.1 dam^2 1000 dm^2
1 dam^2 10000 dm^2
2 dam^2 20000 dm^2
3 dam^2 30000 dm^2
4 dam^2 40000 dm^2
5 dam^2 50000 dm^2
10 dam^2 100000 dm^2
20 dam^2 200000 dm^2
50 dam^2 500000 dm^2

Conversion of Dekameter to Decimeter

1 dam^2 = 10000 dm^2
1 dm^2 = 0.0001 dam^2

Example 1:
Convert 2 dam^2 to dm^2:
2 dam^2 = 2 × 10000 dm^2 = 20000 dm^2

Example 2:
Convert 5.5 dam^2 to dm^2:
5.5 dam^2 = 5.5 × 10000 dm^2 = 55000 dm^2

History of Dekameter and Decimeter
