Square Dekameter
A square dekameter (dam²) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one dekameter (10 meters).
History/Origin
The square dekameter originated from the metric system, which was developed in the late 18th century to standardize measurements. It is derived from the dekameter, a metric unit of length, and used primarily in contexts requiring larger area measurements.
Current Use
The square dekameter is rarely used in modern practice, having been largely replaced by the hectare (ha) for land measurement. It may still be encountered in scientific or educational contexts involving metric area conversions.
Homestead

Current Use
