Square Millimeter to Square Decimeter converter (mm2 to dm2)

Conversion Formula

1 mm2 = 0.0001 dm2

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Square Millimeter = 1.0E-6 m²
   1 Square Decimeter = 0.01 m²
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 mm2 = (1.0E-6 m²) / (0.01 m²/dm2) = 0.0001 dm2
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in mm2 by 0.0001 to get the equivalent in dm2

Example Conversion

Convert 5 mm2 to dm2:

5 mm2 × 0.0001 = 0.0005 dm2
