Square Foot
A square foot is a unit of area measurement equal to the area of a square with sides of one foot in length.
History/Origin
The square foot has been used historically in the imperial and US customary systems for measuring areas, especially in real estate and construction, dating back to the adoption of the imperial system in the UK and its influence in the US.
Current Use
Today, the square foot is widely used in real estate, architecture, and interior design in the United States and other countries that employ imperial units to measure property sizes, building areas, and land plots.
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.
