Convert Decare to Square Metre
1 decare = 1,000 square metre (m²). For example, 10 decare = 10,000 square metre and 100 decare = 100,000 square metre. Type any value below to convert decare to square metre both ways — it runs entirely in your browser.
Quick answer: Decare to Square Metre
1 Decare = 1,000 Square Metre (daa → m²). To convert decare to square metre, multiply by 1,000. To convert square metre to decare, multiply by 0.001. The converter at the top does this instantly and both ways; the sections below give the formula, worked examples, a full conversion chart and answers to the most common decare-to-square metre questions.
How to convert Decare to Square Metre
To convert decare to square metre, multiply the number of decare by the conversion factor 1,000, because 1 daa = 1,000 m². The conversion is linear, so the same factor works for any value — whole numbers, decimals or fractions. For the reverse direction, 1 m² = 0.001 daa, so you divide by 1,000 (or multiply by 0.001) to turn square metre back into decare.
m² = daa × 1,000 ·
daa = m² × 0.001
- Write down the value you want to convert, in decare.
- Multiply it by 1,000.
- The result is the same area/length/quantity expressed in square metre.

Decare vs Square Metre: which is bigger?
A decare is the larger unit: one decare equals 1,000 square metres. Put another way, you need 1,000 square metres to make a single decare.
What is a Decare? History, origin and usage
The decare is a metric land unit of 1,000 square metres, equal to 10 ares or one-tenth of a hectare. It corresponds to the modern metric dunam, whose name comes from the Ottoman Turkish donum (from donmek, 'to turn'), originally the area a team of oxen could plough in a day.
The decare and its dunam equivalent are used in Norway, Turkey and parts of the Balkans, while the metric dunam of 1,000 square metres adopted in 1928 is standard in Israel and Palestine. It is a convenient mid-size unit between the are and the hectare.
One decare equals one metric dunam, exactly 1,000 square metres, and ten decares make one hectare. The Ottoman dunam was a regional cousin of the English acre and the Greek stremma, all rooted in a day's ploughing.
What is a Square Metre? History, origin and usage
The square metre is the coherent SI derived unit of area, defined simply as the area of a square one metre on each side. It descends directly from the metre, which was introduced with the metric system in Revolutionary France in the 1790s.
It is the standard area unit worldwide for floor space, land, materials and scientific work, and is the base from which units like the hectare and square kilometre are built. Almost every country except a few uses the square metre for building and property area.
One square metre is about 10.76 square feet, and 10,000 square metres make one hectare. Its symbol, m squared, is the same in every language because it is a pure SI unit.

Tips for converting Decare to Square Metre
- To go from decare to square metre, multiply by 1,000; to go back, divide by 1,000 (or multiply by 0.001).
- For a quick mental estimate, remember that 1 decare ≈ 1,000 square metre, so 10 decare ≈ 10,000 square metre.
- The converter above keeps full precision; the tables round for readability, so use the tool for exact figures.
- Both fields update live as you type — change either side to convert in that direction.
How to use this Decare to Square Metre converter
Type a number into the Decare field and the equivalent in Square Metre appears instantly — there is no “convert” button to press and nothing is sent to a server, so it works offline once the page has loaded and is safe for any data. You can also type into the Square Metre field to convert the other way (square metre to decare). Use the swap control to flip the two units, and copy the result with a single click. Because the calculation runs in your browser with full floating-point precision, the converter is more exact than the rounded figures shown in the reference chart above — use the chart for quick look-ups and the tool for precise work.
Accuracy and method
Every figure on this page — the formula, the worked examples, the conversion chart and the “convert to other units” tables — is computed from a single verified conversion factor (1 daa = 1,000 m²), never copied from a hand-typed lookup table that could drift. That factor is derived from each unit’s definition in terms of a common base unit, and an automated check re-verifies all of the site’s factors on every update, so the numbers here stay correct over time. This matters for decare-to-square metre conversions because a small rounding error in a published table compounds quickly at larger quantities; computing from the exact factor avoids that.
Sources
- BIPM — The International System of Units (SI Brochure) — the defining document for the SI, published by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. It fixes the base unit that this conversion resolves to, which is why the factor here can be exact rather than approximate.
- NIST — Definitions of the SI base units — the US National Institute of Standards and Technology reference for the SI base units, used here as an independent cross-check on the base-unit definition.
