Square Millimeter

Definition: A square millimeter (mm²) is a unit of area in the metric system. It is the area of a square with sides that are one millimeter in length. It is equal to one millionth of a square meter.

History/origin: The square millimeter is derived from the millimeter, which is a decimal fraction of the meter, the SI base unit of length. As a unit of area, it follows the same historical development as the meter.

Current use: Square millimeters are used for measuring very small areas, such as the cross-sectional area of wires, thin films, or small electronic components. They are common in scientific research, engineering, and manufacturing where precise measurement of small areas is required.

Centimeter

Definition: A square centimeter (cm²) is a unit of area equal to a square that is 1 centimeter on each side. It is a decimal multiple of the square meter, the SI unit of area.

History/origin: The square centimeter is derived from the centimeter, 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 centimeters are commonly used to measure smaller areas, such as the surface area of small objects, diagrams, or cross-sections. They are frequently used in scientific and technical contexts where metric units are preferred.
