What is a square millimeter?
A square millimeter is a metric unit of area equal to the area of a square one millimeter on each side, or one millionth of a square meter. The square millimeter is the go-to unit for very small cross-sections, most notably the gauge of electrical wires and the area of tiny mechanical components.
Common uses of square millimeters include: Electrical wire cross-section (cable gauge); Precision engineering and machining; Cross-sectional area of small parts; Microscopy and materials science.
What is a hectare?
A hectare is a metric unit of area equal to 10,000 square meters, or a square 100 meters on each side, about 2.471 acres. Coined in 1795 from the Greek 'hekaton' (hundred) and 'are', the hectare is the standard unit for land area in agriculture and forestry across most of the world, filling the gap between the square meter and the square kilometer.
