Square Centimeter
A square centimeter (cm^2) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one centimeter.
History/Origin
The square centimeter has been used as a standard unit of area measurement in the metric system since its adoption, primarily for measuring small surfaces in science, engineering, and everyday contexts.
Current Use
It is commonly used in fields such as geometry, manufacturing, and science to measure small areas, including in specifications for materials, biological measurements, and surface areas in various applications.
Square Chain
A square chain (ch^2) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one chain (66 feet) each, equivalent to 4356 square feet.
History/Origin
The square chain originated in land measurement practices in England, particularly used in surveying and land division during the 19th century, especially in the context of the Imperial system.
Current Use
Today, the square chain is largely obsolete and rarely used outside historical or land survey contexts; modern measurements typically employ acres or square meters.
