square decameter to square meter
Convert square decameter (dam²) to square meter (m²). Use an editable area converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 dam² = 100 m²
Conversion formula
One square decameter equals 100 square meter. Multiply your value in square decameter by this factor to get square meter. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 square decameter:5 × 100 = 500 m²
