Square millimeter to square decimeter Conversion
1 square millimeter (mm²) is equal to 0.0001 square decimeter (dm²).
1 mm² = 0.0001 dm²
or
1 dm² = 10000 mm²
Formula
To convert a area from square millimeter (mm²) to square decimeter (dm²), divide the area in square millimeter by 10000
a(dm²) = a(mm²) / 10000
Examples:
Convert 100 square millimeter to square decimeter:
a(dm²) = 100mm² / 10000 = 0.01 dm²
