The Kilometer (km) is used for longer distances like city-to-city travel (e.g., 50 km), marathon races (42.195 km), or highway spans (e.g., 100 km). It's also used in aviation and sports like cycling. 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).
To convert between Kilometer (km) and Decameter (dam), use the following formulas:
1 Kilometer (km) = 100 Decameter (dam)
1 Decameter (dam) = 0.01 Kilometer (km)
0.5 km = 0.5 * 100 dam = 50 dam
3 km = 3 * 100 dam = 300 dam
7 km = 7 * 100 dam = 700 dam
45 km = 45 * 100 dam = 4500 dam
89 km = 89 * 100 dam = 8900 dam
| Kilometer (km) | Decameter (dam) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 km | 10 dam |
| 1 km | 100 dam |
| 2 km | 200 dam |
| 5 km | 500 dam |
| 10 km | 1000 dam |
| 50 km | 5000 dam |
| 70 km | 7000 dam |
| 200 km | 20000 dam |
| 250 km | 25000 dam |
