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 Centimeter (cm) is ideal for smaller measurements like the width of a smartphone (7-10 cm), the height of a coffee mug (10-12 cm), or the length of a pencil (15-20 cm). It's also used in crafts and construction.
To convert between Decameter (dam) and Centimeter (cm), use the following formulas:
1 Decameter (dam) = 1000 Centimeter (cm)
1 Centimeter (cm) = 0.001 Decameter (dam)
1 dam = 1 * 1000 cm = 1000 cm
2 dam = 2 * 1000 cm = 2000 cm
5 dam = 5 * 1000 cm = 5000 cm
10 dam = 10 * 1000 cm = 10000 cm
20 dam = 20 * 1000 cm = 20000 cm
| Decameter (dam) | Centimeter (cm) |
|---|---|
| 1 dam | 1000 cm |
| 5 dam | 5000 cm |
| 10 dam | 10000 cm |
| 20 dam | 20000 cm |
| 50 dam | 50000 cm |
| 100 dam | 100000 cm |
