Square Kilometer
Definition: A square kilometer (km²) is a unit of area equal to a square that is 1 kilometer on each side. It is a multiple of the square meter, the SI unit of area.
History/origin: The square kilometer is derived from the kilometer, which is part of the metric system established in France in the late 18th century. The metric system was designed to be a standardized and coherent system of measurement based on decimal multiples.
Current use: Square kilometers are used to measure large areas, such as the size of cities, countries, lakes, and other geographical features. It's a common unit in geography, cartography, and environmental studies.
Hectare
Definition: A hectare (ha) is a non-SI metric unit of area equal to 10,000 square meters. It is primarily used for measuring land area.
History/origin: The hectare was adopted as a unit of area following the French Revolution, along with the metric system. It is derived from the word 'hecto,' meaning one hundred, and 'are,' which is a unit of area equal to 100 square meters.
Current use: Hectares are commonly used in agriculture, forestry, land management, and urban planning to measure large areas of land. It's a widely used unit in many countries, particularly for agricultural land.
