Examples
1
Consider that a plot of land is measured to be 3 arpents in length. Convert this length from arpents to Dekameters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in arpent is:
Length(Arpent) = 3
Formula:
The formula to convert length from arpent to dekameters is:
Length(Dekameters) = Length(Arpent) / 0.170877078
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Arpent) = 3 in the above formula.
Length(Dekameters) = 3 / 0.170877078
Length(Dekameters) = 17.5565
Final Answer:
Therefore, 3 arpent is equal to 17.5565 dam.
The length is 17.5565 dam, in dekameters.
2
Consider that a historical land survey recorded an area of 10 arpents. Convert this area from arpents to Dekameters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in arpent is:
Length(Arpent) = 10
Formula:
The formula to convert length from arpent to dekameters is:
Length(Dekameters) = Length(Arpent) / 0.170877078
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Arpent) = 10 in the above formula.
Length(Dekameters) = 10 / 0.170877078
Length(Dekameters) = 58.5216
Final Answer:
Therefore, 10 arpent is equal to 58.5216 dam.
The length is 58.5216 dam, in dekameters.

Arpent
An arpent is a historical unit of length used primarily in French-speaking regions and in land measurement. One arpent is approximately equivalent to 192.75 feet or 58.66 meters.
The arpent was used in various regions, including France and the former French colonies, to measure land and property. Its length could vary slightly depending on the specific region and historical context.
Arpents were used in land surveying and agriculture, particularly in historical and regional contexts. Although less common today, the unit provides historical insight into land measurement practices and regional variations in measurement standards.
Dekameters
A dekameter (dam) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One dekameter is equivalent to 10 meters or approximately 32.808 feet.
The dekameter is defined as ten meters, providing a convenient measurement for moderately large distances.
Dekameters are used in various fields to measure length and distance where a scale between meters and hectometers is appropriate. They are less commonly used than other metric units but can be useful in certain applications, such as land measurement and environmental science.
