Square Millimeter
A square millimeter (mm²) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one millimeter.
History/Origin
The square millimeter has been used in scientific and engineering contexts for precise measurement of small areas, especially in fields like electronics and material science, as a subdivision of the metric system established in the 19th century.
Current Use
It is commonly used today in fields such as electronics, manufacturing, and scientific research to measure small surface areas, including the cross-sectional areas of wires and components.
Arpent
An arpent is a historical unit of area measurement used primarily in France and French-speaking regions, roughly equivalent to 0.845 acres or 0.34 hectares.
History/Origin
The arpent originated in France during the medieval period and was widely used until the 19th century. Its size varied regionally, but it was commonly employed for land measurement and surveying. The unit was adopted in French colonies and influenced measurements in North America, especially in Louisiana and Quebec.
Current Use
Today, the arpent is largely obsolete and replaced by metric units. It is occasionally referenced in historical contexts or land records in regions where it was historically used, but it has no official status in modern measurement systems.
