That is the benefit of the International SI units of measurement, being base 10 one can convert to a measurement appropriate to what you are doing by simply multiplying or dividing by 10 - thus while the standard measurement is the meter, kilometers, decimeters and centimeters are all the SAME thing just expressed as a different magnitude

4 meters is 40 dm (decimeters), yes More popular use is of 400 cm centimeters or 4000 mm (milimeters)

You should use the relationship of 10 decimeters equal 1 meter. So if you have 4 meters could convert them into 40 decimeters.
How many square decimeters are in a square centimeter?
.01 or 1/100 square decimeters per square centimeter --------------------------------------------------------------- 100 square centimeters in a decimeter to find this is simple, we have 1 decimeter squared: 1dm2 or 1 dm X 1dm we know 1 decimeter = .1 centimeters, so: .1cm X .1cm = .001cm2 You can use this for just about any conversion, even complicated ones like feet, yards and miles. If you're not sure how much your conversion factor is directly, then you can take an extra step and use this to convert to a the basic unit of measurement, like meters, then convert to centimeters. If you're doing volume instead of area, all you do is break it apart more, for ex: 1cm3=1cmX1cmX1cm=100mX100mX100m=1000000m3.
