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 Meter (m) or (mtr) is used for everyday measurements like room dimensions (3-4 meters), the height of a door (2 meters), or the length of a car (4-5 meters). It's also used in sports, such as the height of a basketball hoop (3.05 meters).
To convert between Decameter (dam) and Meter (m), use the following formulas:
1 Decameter (dam) = 10 Meter (m)
1 Meter (m) = 0.1 Decameter (dam)
1 dam = 1 * 10 m = 10 m
2 dam = 2 * 10 m = 20 m
5 dam = 5 * 10 m = 50 m
10 dam = 10 * 10 m = 100 m
20 dam = 20 * 10 m = 200 m
| Decameter (dam) | Meter (m) |
|---|---|
| 1 dam | 10 m |
| 5 dam | 50 m |
| 10 dam | 100 m |
| 20 dam | 200 m |
| 50 dam | 500 m |
| 100 dam | 1000 m |
