Examples
1
Consider that a traditional Japanese building is 3 kens wide. Convert this width from kens to Dekameters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in kens is:
Length(Kens) = 3
Formula:
The formula to convert length from kens to dekameters is:
Length(Dekameters) = Length(Kens) / 4.720632942
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Kens) = 3 in the above formula.
Length(Dekameters) = 3 / 4.720632942
Length(Dekameters) = 0.6355
Final Answer:
Therefore, 3 ken is equal to 0.6355 dam.
The length is 0.6355 dam, in dekameters.
2
Consider that a Japanese temple's hall is 5 kens long. Convert this length from kens to Dekameters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in kens is:
Length(Kens) = 5
Formula:
The formula to convert length from kens to dekameters is:
Length(Dekameters) = Length(Kens) / 4.720632942
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Kens) = 5 in the above formula.
Length(Dekameters) = 5 / 4.720632942
Length(Dekameters) = 1.0592
Final Answer:
Therefore, 5 ken is equal to 1.0592 dam.
The length is 1.0592 dam, in dekameters.

Kens
A ken is a historical unit of length used in various cultures, particularly in Asia. The length of a ken can vary depending on the region and context. In Japan, one ken is approximately equivalent to 6 feet or about 1.8288 meters.
The ken was traditionally used in architectural and construction measurements, particularly in the design of buildings and layout of spaces.
Ken measurements were utilized in historical architecture and construction practices in Asian cultures. Although not commonly used today, the unit provides historical context for traditional measurement standards and practices in building and design.
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.
