Square decimeter (dm²) - small metric area
Square decimeter is a metric unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides of 1 decimeter (0.1 meter). Used for small surface areas in product labeling, tiling, and heat-flux specifications.
- Symbol: dm²
- System: SI derived unit
- Exact relations: 1 dm² = (0.1 m)² = 0.01 m² = 100 cm² = 10,000 mm²
- Imperial/US equivalents: 1 dm² ≈ 0.107639 ft² ≈ 0.011959 yd² ≈ 15.5000 in²
- Typical examples: a 10 cm × 10 cm tile = 1 dm²; packaging surface area; heat flux quoted in W/dm²
Jerib (jarib; djerib) - regional land area
Jerib is a traditional land-area unit used across the Middle East and southwestern Asia. In modern usage it equals 10,000 m² (1 hectare) in Iran and Turkey, while in Afghanistan it is standardized at 2,000 m² (0.2 ha).
- Names/aliases: jerib, jarib, djerib
- System: Regional (non-SI; accepted alongside SI)
- Iran/Turkey (modern): 1 jerib = 10,000 m² = 1 ha ≈ 2.47105381 acres
- Afghanistan (modern): 1 jerib = 2,000 m² = 0.2 ha ≈ 0.4942 acres
- Notes: historical values varied by locale and era; verify the legal definition in deeds and surveys
