Square decimeter to square millimeter Conversion
1 square decimeter (dm²) is equal to 10000 square millimeter (mm²).
1 dm² = 10000 mm²
or
1 mm² = 0.0001 dm²
Formula
To convert a area from square decimeter (dm²) to square millimeter (mm²), multiply the area in square decimeter by 10000
a(mm²) = a(dm²) × 10000
Examples:
Convert 100 square decimeter to square millimeter:
a(mm²) = 100dm² × 10000 = 1000000 mm²
