Decameter to Hectometer Converter

1 Decameter = 0 Hectometer

Decameter (dam) to Hectometer (hm) Conversion

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 hectometer (hm) is useful for measuring sports tracks (1 lap = 4 hm), urban blocks (~1–2 hm long), or vineyard rows. Road signs in some European countries use hectometers for minor distance markers.

Conversion Formula

To convert between Decameter (dam) and Hectometer (hm), use the following formulas:

1 Decameter (dam) = 0.1 Hectometer (hm)

1 Hectometer (hm) = 10 Decameter (dam)

Example Conversions

1. Convert 1 Decameter (dam) to Hectometer (hm)

1 dam = 1 * 0.1 hm = 0.1 hm

2. Convert 2 Decameter (dam) to Hectometer (hm)

2 dam = 2 * 0.1 hm = 0.2 hm

3. Convert 5 Decameter (dam) to Hectometer (hm)

5 dam = 5 * 0.1 hm = 0.5 hm

4. Convert 10 Decameter (dam) to Hectometer (hm)

10 dam = 10 * 0.1 hm = 1 hm

5. Convert 20 Decameter (dam) to Hectometer (hm)

20 dam = 20 * 0.1 hm = 2 hm
