Square Inch

What is a square inch?

A square inch is an imperial unit of area equal to exactly 0.00064516 m², the area of a square with sides of one inch. It is widely used in the United States for small-area measurements.

Origin of the square inch

Derived by squaring the inch. The inch was standardized to exactly 25.4 mm via the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement.

Where it is used

Square inches are used extensively in US engineering, manufacturing, real estate (for floor plans), and everyday small-area measurements. Engine displacement is often expressed in cubic inches but cross-sections in square inches.

When and where it was developed

Inch dates to medieval English usage; modern exact value standardized in 1959.

What is a feddan?

A feddan is an Egyptian unit of land area equal to approximately 4200.83 m² (about 1.038 acres). Used in Egypt, Sudan, Syria, and Oman.

Origin of the feddan

Originated as an Egyptian agricultural unit. Standardized at 4200.83 m² in modern Egyptian law (specifically, 333.33 qasaba squared).

Where it is used

Feddans are the primary unit for agricultural land in Egypt and several Arab countries. The conversion to hectares (1 feddan ≈ 0.42 hectare) is widely known regionally.

When and where it was developed

Standardized in modern Egyptian land law.
