Square Millimeter to Square Decameter converter (mm2 to dam2)

Conversion Formula

1 mm2 = 1.0E-8 dam2

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Square Millimeter = 1.0E-6 m²
   1 Square Decameter = 100 m²
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 mm2 = (1.0E-6 m²) / (100 m²/dam2) = 1.0E-8 dam2
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in mm2 by 1.0E-8 to get the equivalent in dam2

Example Conversion

Convert 5 mm2 to dam2:

5 mm2 × 1.0E-8 = 5.0E-8 dam2
