Square meter (m²) - SI unit of area
Square meter is the SI unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides of 1 meter. Used worldwide for measuring floor space, land parcels, and surface areas in science and engineering.
- Symbol: m²
- System: SI derived unit
- Exact relations: 1 m² = 10,000 cm² = 1,000,000 mm² = 1×10⁻⁴ ha
- Imperial/US equivalents: 1 m² ≈ 10.7639104 ft² ≈ 1.19599005 yd² ≈ 1550.0031 in²
- Typical examples: apartment room sizes, building floor plans, material coverage (paint, flooring), cross-sectional and surface areas in calculations
Square centimeter (cm²) - small metric area
Square centimeter is a metric unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides of 1 centimeter. Used for labeling, small component footprints, and cross-sections in science and engineering.
- Symbol: cm²
- System: SI derived unit
- Exact relations: 1 cm² = (0.01 m)² = 0.0001 m² = 100 mm²; 1 m² = 10,000 cm²
- Imperial/US equivalents: 1 cm² ≈ 0.15500031 in² ≈ 0.001076391 ft²
- Typical examples: postage stamp area (~4–6 cm²); PCB pad areas; small sensor cross-sections
