What are Micrometer and Decimeter

Definition of Micrometer

A micrometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one millionth of a meter (1/1,000,000 meter), or 0.000001 meter. It's a commonly used unit in engineering and science for measuring small distances with high precision. The micrometer is symbolized as µm and is also sometimes referred to as a micron.

Definition of Decimeter

A decimeter is a metric unit of length, equivalent to one tenth of a meter (1/10 meter), or 0.1 meter. It's not commonly used in daily measurements but serves as an intermediate scale in engineering and scientific contexts. The decimeter helps bridge the gap between centimeters and meters, providing a useful scale for various applications.

Conversion of Micrometer to Decimeter

1 µm = 0.00001 dm
1 dm = 100000 µm

Example 1:
Convert 25000 µm to dm:
25000 µm = 25000 × 0.00001 dm = 0.25 dm

Example 2:
Convert 750000 µm to dm:
750000 µm = 750000 × 0.00001 dm = 7.5 dm
