Units explained
Decimal (Indian)
A decimal (Indian usage) is a unit of land area equal to 1/100 of an acre, or approximately 40.4686 m². It is identical to the cent but uses the term 'decimal' in Bengal and Bangladesh.

Standardized in colonial Bengal.
Square Millimeter
A square millimeter is a metric unit of area equal to 10⁻⁶ m² (1 mm × 1 mm). It is widely used in engineering, electronics, and small-scale technical work.
Derived by squaring the millimeter, defined as 1/1000 of a meter. The milli- prefix comes from the Latin 'mille' (thousand).
Square millimeters express PCB trace cross-sections, the area of small mechanical features in CAD drawings, biological sample sizes, and material thicknesses.
Millimeter has been part of the metric system since 1795.
