Square Millimeter
A square millimeter (mm²) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one millimeter.
History/Origin
The square millimeter has been used in scientific and engineering contexts for precise measurement of small areas, especially in fields like electronics and material science, as a subdivision of the metric system established in the 19th century.
Current Use
It is commonly used today in fields such as electronics, manufacturing, and scientific research to measure small surface areas, including the cross-sectional areas of wires and components.
Circular Inch
A circular inch is a unit of area measurement representing the area of a circle with a diameter of one inch.
History/Origin
The circular inch originated as a specialized measurement in fields requiring precise circular area calculations, but it is not widely used in standard measurement systems and has limited historical adoption.
Current Use
Today, the circular inch is primarily used in niche applications such as engineering and manufacturing where circular area measurements are relevant, but it remains a rarely used unit outside specialized contexts.
