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). Primarily used in horse racing (UK/US). 1 furlong = 660 feet = 1/8 mile.
To convert between Decameter (dam) and Furlong (fur), use the following formulas:
1 Decameter (dam) = 0.049709695378986715 Furlong (fur)
1 Furlong (fur) = 20.1168 Decameter (dam)
1 dam = 1 * 0.049709695378986715 fur = 0.049709695378986715 fur
2 dam = 2 * 0.049709695378986715 fur = 0.09941939075797343 fur
5 dam = 5 * 0.049709695378986715 fur = 0.2485484768949336 fur
10 dam = 10 * 0.049709695378986715 fur = 0.4970969537898672 fur
20 dam = 20 * 0.049709695378986715 fur = 0.9941939075797344 fur
