Square Decimeter
A square decimeter (dm^2) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides of one decimeter (10 centimeters).
History/Origin
The square decimeter is derived from the decimeter, a metric unit of length, and has been used in metric measurements for expressing small to moderate areas, especially in scientific and engineering contexts since the adoption of the metric system.
Current Use
The square decimeter is used in various fields such as engineering, architecture, and science for measuring small surface areas, particularly where metric units are standard and precise measurements are required.
Square Foot (Us Survey)
A square foot (US survey) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one foot, primarily used in land measurement and real estate in the United States.
History/Origin
The square foot originated from the foot as a unit of length, which has been used since ancient times. Its application as an area measurement became standardized in the United States for land and property measurements in the 19th and 20th centuries.
