Units of Area Measurement
In measuring the extent of a two-dimensional space or surface, several units of area are commonly used. Here’s a brief description of each:
-
Square Meter (m²): The standard unit of area in the International System of Units (SI). One square meter is the area of a square with sides of one meter each.
-
Square Kilometer (km²): A unit used for larger areas, particularly in mapping and geography. One square kilometer equals one million square meters.
-
Hectare (ha): Commonly used in land measurement, especially in agriculture. One hectare equals 10,000 square meters or 0.01 square kilometers.
-
Acre: A unit used in the United States and some other countries, often for land and real estate. One acre is equivalent to 4,046.86 square meters or 0.4047 hectares.
-
Square Mile (mi²): Used in the United States and the UK for larger areas. One square mile is equivalent to 2.58999 square kilometers or 2,589,988 square meters.
-
Square Yard (yd²): Commonly used in the UK and the US, particularly in construction and real estate. One square yard equals 0.836127 square meters.
-
Square Foot (ft²): Often used for smaller areas, especially in construction and real estate in the US and the UK. One square foot equals 0.092903 square meters.
-
Are: A metric unit used for measuring areas of land. One are equals 100 square meters.
