What is the Formula to convert Dekameters to Kilometers?
The formula to convert given length from Dekameters to Kilometers is:
Length(Kilometers) = Length(Dekameters) × 0.01
Substitute the given value of length in dekameters, i.e., Length(Dekameters) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the length in kilometers, i.e., Length(Kilometers).
Calculation
Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.
Examples
1
Consider that a high-rise building stands 25 dekameters tall. Convert this height from dekameters to Kilometers.
Answer:
Given:
The length in dekameters is:
Length(Dekameters) = 25
Formula:
The formula to convert length from dekameters to kilometers is:
Length(Kilometers) = Length(Dekameters) × 0.01
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Dekameters) = 25 in the above formula.
Length(Kilometers) = 25 × 0.01
Length(Kilometers) = 0.25
Final Answer:
Therefore, 25 dam is equal to 0.25 km.
The length is 0.25 km, in kilometers.
2
Consider that a luxury yacht has a length of 15 dekameters. Convert this length from dekameters to Kilometers.
Answer:
Given:
The length in dekameters is:
Length(Dekameters) = 15
Formula:
The formula to convert length from dekameters to kilometers is:
Length(Kilometers) = Length(Dekameters) × 0.01
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Dekameters) = 15 in the above formula.
Length(Kilometers) = 15 × 0.01
Length(Kilometers) = 0.15
Final Answer:
Therefore, 15 dam is equal to 0.15 km.
The length is 0.15 km, in kilometers.

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.
Kilometers
A kilometer (km) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to 0.6214 miles. One kilometer is one thousand meters.
The prefix "kilo-" means one thousand. A kilometer is defined by 1000 times the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458 seconds. This definition may change, but a kilometer will always be one thousand meters.
Kilometers are used to measure distances on land in most countries. However, the United States and the United Kingdom still often use miles. The UK has adopted the metric system, but miles are still used on road signs.
