Conversion Formula

1 km2 = 100000000 dm2

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Square Kilometer = 1000000 m²
   1 Square Decimeter = 0.01 m²
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 km2 = (1000000 m²) / (0.01 m²/dm2) = 100000000 dm2
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in km2 by 100000000 to get the equivalent in dm2

Example Conversion

Convert 5 km2 to dm2:
