Square Mil
A square mil is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one mil (thousandth of an inch).
History/Origin
The square mil has been used primarily in engineering and manufacturing to measure very small areas, especially in fields like electronics and materials science, where precision at a microscopic scale is required.
Current Use
Today, the square mil is mainly used in the electronics industry to specify the cross-sectional area of wires and conductors, as well as in materials science for measuring tiny surface areas.
Square Hectometer
A square hectometer (hm^2) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides of one hectometer (100 meters).
History/Origin
The square hectometer originated from the metric system's adoption, where 'hecto' denotes a factor of 100. It has been used primarily in scientific and geographical contexts to measure large areas.
Current Use
The square hectometer is rarely used in everyday measurements but is occasionally employed in scientific, environmental, and geographical studies to express large land or area measurements.
