Length_(Kilometers) = Length_(Dekameters) × 0.01

Dekameters unit in Length

A dekameter (dam) is a unit of length equal to 10 meters. Dekameters are used in fields such as topography, meteorology, and hydrology to measure medium-scale distances, such as the height of a hill or the depth of a body of water. This unit offers a practical measure for situations where meters are too small, but larger units like kilometers are unnecessary.

Kilometers unit in Length

A kilometer (km) is a unit of length equal to 1,000 meters. It is commonly used to measure longer distances, such as those between cities or geographic locations. Kilometers are the preferred unit for expressing distances on maps and road signs in countries that use the metric system, making them essential in travel, navigation, and land measurement.
