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). Micrometers (µm) measure cells (human cell = ~10–30 µm), bacteria (1–5 µm), and microelectronics. Pollen grains are ~15–100 µm wide.
To convert between Decameter (dam) and Micrometer (µm), use the following formulas:
1 Decameter (dam) = 10000000 Micrometer (µm)
1 Micrometer (µm) = 1e-7 Decameter (dam)
1 dam = 1 * 10000000 µm = 10000000 µm
2 dam = 2 * 10000000 µm = 20000000 µm
5 dam = 5 * 10000000 µm = 50000000 µm
10 dam = 10 * 10000000 µm = 100000000 µm
20 dam = 20 * 10000000 µm = 200000000 µm
| Decameter (dam) | Micrometer (µm) |
|---|---|
| 1 dam | 10000000 µm |
| 5 dam | 50000000 µm |
| 10 dam | 100000000 µm |
| 20 dam | 200000000 µm |
| 50 dam | 500000000 µm |
| 100 dam | 1000000000 µm |
