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.
Square Mile
Definition: A square mile (symbol: mi²) is an imperial and US customary unit of area equal to the area of a square with 1 mile (5280 feet) on each side. One square mile equals exactly 2.589988 square kilometers or 640 acres.
History: Originated from the English system of measurement, with the mile dating back to Roman times. The square mile became standard for land measurement in the British Empire and later in the United States.
Current use: Primarily used in the United States for measuring large land areas such as cities, counties, and national parks. Commonly appears in US real estate, zoning laws, and geographical surveys. The UK has largely transitioned to square kilometers but still uses square miles in some contexts.
