Decameters (dam) - Length / Distance Conversions
A decameter is a unit of Length or Distance in the Metric System. The symbol for decameter is dam. Commonly a decameter is referred to as a dekameter and then the symbol used is dkm instead of dam. The International spelling for this unit is decametre.
The base unit for a decameter is meter and the prefix is deca. The prefix deca is derived from the Greek deka and is symbolized as da in the Metric System. Deca denotes a factor of 10 which means that there are 10 meters in a decameter.
