About Area Measurement

Area is the quantity that expresses the extent of a two-dimensional surface or shape in a plane. It's measured in square units and is fundamental in architecture, real estate, agriculture, and engineering. Understanding area conversion helps in property valuation, land surveying, and construction.

Common Applications

  • • Real estate and property measurement
  • • Agriculture and land management
  • • Construction and architecture
  • • Interior design and space planning
  • • Geographic information systems (GIS)
  • • Environmental conservation planning

Unit Systems

  • Metric: m², cm², km², hectare
  • Imperial: ft², in², yd², acre
  • US Survey: square mile, section
  • Traditional: rood, perch, barn
  • Scientific: barn (nuclear physics)

Area Relationships

Area grows with the square of linear dimensions. If you double the length and width of a rectangle, its area increases by 4 times. One hectare equals 10,000 m² or about 2.47 acres. A football field is approximately 0.57 hectares or 1.32 acres.
