Square Meter
A square meter (m^2) is the SI unit of area, representing the area of a square with sides of one meter each.
History/Origin
The square meter was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) in 1960, based on the meter defined by the speed of light, and has since become the standard unit for measuring area in the metric system.
Current Use
The square meter is widely used in various fields such as real estate, architecture, land measurement, and engineering to quantify surface areas of spaces and objects.
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.
