1 Square Meter (m²) to Square Decimeter (dm²)
What is a Square Meter?
A square meter (m²) is a unit of area in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the area of a square with sides of one meter in length. The square meter is a fundamental unit of area in the metric system, and it is widely used in various fields such as construction, architecture, and physics.
What is a Square Decimeter?
A square decimeter (dm²) is a unit of area in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the area of a square with sides of one decimeter (10 centimeters) in length. The square decimeter is a smaller unit of area compared to the square meter.
Conversion from Square Meter to Square Decimeter
To convert a square meter to a square decimeter, we need to multiply the area in square meters by 100. This is because there are 100 square decimeters in 1 square meter.
The Conversion Formula
1 m² = 100 dm²
Example Conversion
Let's say we want to convert an area of 5 square meters to square decimeters.
Step 1: Multiply the area in square meters by 100.
5 m² × 100 = 500 dm²
Result: 5 square meters is equal to 500 square decimeters.
In conclusion, converting square meters to square decimeters is a simple process that involves multiplying the area in square meters by 100. This conversion is commonly used in various fields, including construction, architecture, and physics.
