Examples
1
Consider that a high-rise building stands 25 dekameters tall. Convert this height from dekameters to Gigameters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in dekameters is:
Length(Dekameters) = 25
Formula:
The formula to convert length from dekameters to gigameters is:
Substitute given weight Length(Dekameters) = 15 in the above formula.
Length(Gigameters) = 15 / 100000000
Length(Gigameters) = 1.5e-7
Final Answer:
Therefore, 15 dam is equal to 1.5e-7 Gm.
The length is 1.5e-7 Gm, in gigameters.

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.
Gigameters
A gigameter (Gm) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One gigameter is equivalent to 1,000,000,000 meters or approximately 621,371,192 miles.
The gigameter is defined as one billion meters, making it a measurement for extremely large distances, often used in astronomical contexts.
Gigameters are used in fields such as astronomy and space science to describe distances on a scale larger than megameters. They offer a convenient way to express the vast distances between celestial bodies and in large-scale cosmic phenomena.
