The decameter (dam) is used to measure medium-scale distances like the length of a tennis court (~2.3 dam) or a cricket pitch (~2.0 dam). It’s also practical for land surveying and agricultural plots (e.g., a small field might be 10 dam × 20 dam). The Decimeter (dm) is useful for medium-sized objects like the length of a notebook (2-3 dm), the height of a water bottle (2.5 dm), or the width of a laptop (3-4 dm). Often used in education and everyday measurements.
To convert between Decameter (dam) and Decimeter (dm), use the following formulas:
1 Decameter (dam) = 100 Decimeter (dm)
1 Decimeter (dm) = 0.01 Decameter (dam)
1 dam = 1 * 100 dm = 100 dm
2 dam = 2 * 100 dm = 200 dm
5 dam = 5 * 100 dm = 500 dm
10 dam = 10 * 100 dm = 1000 dm
20 dam = 20 * 100 dm = 2000 dm
| Decameter (dam) | Decimeter (dm) |
|---|---|
| 1 dam | 100 dm |
| 5 dam | 500 dm |
| 10 dam | 1000 dm |
| 20 dam | 2000 dm |
| 50 dam | 5000 dm |
| 100 dam | 10000 dm |
