Hectare
Definition: A hectare (symbol: ha) is a metric unit of area equal to 10,000 square meters (100m × 100m) or approximately 2.471 acres. It is the most commonly used unit for measuring land area in the metric system.
History: Introduced in 1795 as part of the original metric system in France, using the Greek 'hecto-' (hundred) prefix with the are (100 square meters). The hectare became 100 ares, providing a practical unit for land measurement.
Current use: The standard unit for agricultural land, forestry, and urban planning in metric countries. Used worldwide in official land records except in the United States. Common in environmental science and land management.
Square Meter (m²)
Definition: A square meter (symbol: m²) is the SI derived unit of area. It is defined as the area of a square with sides measuring exactly one meter in length. This is the fundamental unit for measuring two-dimensional spaces in the metric system.
History: The square meter was introduced as part of the metric system during the French Revolution in the 1790s. Its definition has evolved with the meter's redefinitions, most recently tying it to the speed of light in 1983. As the meter was redefined, the square meter automatically adjusted while maintaining its fundamental relationship.
Current use: Used worldwide for measuring room sizes, construction areas, and land parcels in metric countries. It's the standard unit in architecture, engineering, and real estate everywhere except the United States. Even in countries that use imperial units for distance, square meters are often used for technical and scientific applications.
