Hectare
A hectare is a metric unit of area equal to 10,000 square meters, commonly used to measure land.
History/Origin
The hectare was introduced in the metric system in the 19th century to provide a practical unit for land measurement, especially in agriculture and forestry.
Current Use
Hectares are widely used worldwide for measuring large land areas, such as farms, forests, and parks, particularly in countries using the metric system.
Square Micrometer
A square micrometer (µm²) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one micrometer (µm).
History/Origin
The square micrometer originated with the development of the metric system and microscopic measurement techniques, becoming standard in scientific fields requiring precise area measurements at microscopic scales.
Current Use
The square micrometer is used in fields such as microbiology, materials science, and nanotechnology to measure tiny surface areas, particle sizes, and microscopic features.
