Examples
1
Consider that a luxury yacht has a length of 50 meters. Convert this length from meters to Dekameters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in meters is:
Length(Meters) = 50
Formula:
The formula to convert length from meters to dekameters is:
Length(Dekameters) = Length(Meters) / 10
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Meters) = 50 in the above formula.
Length(Dekameters) = 50 / 10
Length(Dekameters) = 5
Final Answer:
Therefore, 50 m is equal to 5 dam.
The length is 5 dam, in dekameters.
2
Consider that a private jet has a wingspan of 28 meters. Convert this wingspan from meters to Dekameters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in meters is:
Length(Meters) = 28
Formula:
The formula to convert length from meters to dekameters is:
Length(Dekameters) = Length(Meters) / 10
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Meters) = 28 in the above formula.
Length(Dekameters) = 28 / 10
Length(Dekameters) = 2.8
Final Answer:
Therefore, 28 m is equal to 2.8 dam.
The length is 2.8 dam, in dekameters.

Meters
A meter (m) is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI). One meter is equivalent to approximately 3.2808 feet.
The meter is defined by the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds.
Meters are used worldwide to measure length and distance in various fields, including science, engineering, and everyday life. Most countries have adopted the meter as the standard unit of measurement for length.
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.
