Note that "milli-" means "thousandths of a unit" and "deci-" means "tenths of a unit".
This means:
1 m = 1000 mm
1 m = 10 dm
Combine these conversions altogether to get:
1 mm = 1.0 x 10-3 m = 1.0 x 10-2 dm
Another way of interpreting this is 1 dm = 100 mm. Therefore, 200 mm is 2 dm.

Well, honey, 200mm is the same as 20dm. It's like asking how many inches are in a foot - just divide by 10 and you've got your answer. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
200mm = 20cm
25cm is longer than 200mm which equals 20cm
1 dm = 1 cm → 1 dm² = 1 dm × 1 dm = 10 cm × 10 cm = 100 cm² → To convert dm² to cm² multiply by 100 → 5 dm² = 5 × 100 cm² = 500 cm².
