Examples
1
Consider that a print layout uses 12 picas for the width of a column. Convert this width from picas to Dekameters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in pica is:
Length(Pica) = 12
Formula:
The formula to convert length from pica to dekameters is:
Length(Dekameters) = Length(Pica) / 2362.2047244
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 12 in the above formula.
Length(Dekameters) = 12 / 2362.2047244
Length(Dekameters) = 0.0050800000000203
Final Answer:
Therefore, 12 pica is equal to 0.0050800000000203 dam.
The length is 0.0050800000000203 dam, in dekameters.

Consider that a typesetter measures a line of text to be 6 picas long. Convert this length from picas to Dekameters.
Answer:
Given:
The length in pica is:
Length(Pica) = 6
Formula:
The formula to convert length from pica to dekameters is:
Length(Dekameters) = Length(Pica) / 2362.2047244
Substitution:
Substitute given weight Length(Pica) = 6 in the above formula.
Length(Dekameters) = 6 / 2362.2047244
Length(Dekameters) = 0.0025400000000102
Final Answer:
Therefore, 6 pica is equal to 0.0025400000000102 dam.
The length is 0.0025400000000102 dam, in dekameters.

Pica
A pica is a unit of length used primarily in typography and printing. One pica is equivalent to 1/6 of an inch or approximately 4.233 millimeters.
The pica is defined as 12 points, with one point being 1/72 of an inch. It is used to measure the size of type, line length, and spacing in printed materials.
Picas are commonly used in the printing and graphic design industries to ensure consistency in text layout and design. The unit provides a standard measurement for various typographic and layout tasks.
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.
