Examples
1
Consider that the distance from Earth to the Sun is approximately 150 gigameters. Convert this distance from gigameters to Dekameters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in gigameters is:
Length(Gigameters) = 150
Formula:
The formula to convert length from gigameters to dekameters is:
Substitute given weight Length(Gigameters) = 150 in the above formula.
Length(Dekameters) = 150 × 100000000
Length(Dekameters) = 15000000000
Final Answer:
Therefore, 150 Gm is equal to 15000000000 dam.
The length is 15000000000 dam, in dekameters.
2
Consider that the distance from Mars to Jupiter at their closest approach is about 550 gigameters. Convert this distance from gigameters to Dekameters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in gigameters is:
Length(Gigameters) = 550
Formula:
The formula to convert length from gigameters to dekameters is:
Substitute given weight Length(Gigameters) = 550 in the above formula.
Length(Dekameters) = 550 × 100000000
Length(Dekameters) = 55000000000
Final Answer:
Therefore, 550 Gm is equal to 55000000000 dam.
The length is 55000000000 dam, in dekameters.

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.
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.
