Units explained
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.
Derived by squaring the inch. The inch was standardized to exactly 25.4 mm via the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement.
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.
Inch dates to medieval English usage; modern exact value standardized in 1959.
Oxgang
An oxgang was a medieval English unit of land area equal to approximately 60,703 m² (about 15 acres or 1/8 of a carucate).
Defined as the area one ox could plow in a year, equal to 1/8 of a carucate (which used 8 oxen).
Oxgangs appear in Domesday Book and other medieval English records. Obsolete by the late medieval period as land measurement moved to fixed surveyed units.
Anglo-Saxon English origin; obsolete by late medieval period.

Real-world example — Fiber-optic link lengths
Converting from microscale square inches to the oxgangs of a long-haul fiber link is the conversion an optical engineer performs when calculating attenuation per kilometre of fiber.
1e+9 in² × 1.062814e-8 = 10.6281402896
Real-world example — Feature-scale to long-haul
One billion square inches equals exactly one oxgang — the conversion an optical-network engineer performs when totalling feature-level path lengths into a single long-haul fiber-link distance.
1e+9 in² × 1.062814e-8 = 10.6281402896
