Square rod (sq rd; also perch, pole, lug) - traditional land area
Square rod is a historical Imperial/US customary unit of area equal to a square one rod on a side. Used in older land records and surveying alongside roods and acres.
- Symbols: sq rd, rd²; also “square perch”
- System: Imperial/US customary (historic)
- Exact relations: 1 sq rd = (16.5 ft)² = 272.25 ft² = (5.5 yd)² = 30.25 yd² = (5.0292 m)² = 25.29285264 m² (exact)
- Other relations: 40 sq rd = 1 rood; 160 sq rd = 1 acre; 16 sq rd = 1 square chain
- Typical examples: deed descriptions such as “2 roods 13 perches”; 19th-century cadastral plans
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
