Units explained
Square Kilometer
A square kilometer is a metric unit of area equal to 1,000,000 m² (one million square meters), or 100 hectares. It is used for measuring large land areas, regional geography, and country-scale statistics.
Derived by squaring the kilometer (1000 m). The kilo- prefix comes from the Greek 'chilioi' (thousand).
Square kilometers express the area of cities, districts, lakes, forests, and entire countries. India's total area is approximately 3,287,263 km². 1 km² equals 100 hectares or about 247.105 acres.
Kilometer has been part of the metric system since 1795.
Square US Survey Foot
A square US survey foot is a unit of area equal to approximately 0.0929034116 m². It is slightly larger than the square international foot due to historical surveying definitions.
Derived by squaring the US survey foot, which was defined as exactly 1200/3937 meter from 1893 to 2023. This produced a value about 2 parts per million larger than the international foot.
Square US survey feet appear in legacy US public land records and state plane coordinate systems established before 2023. The US officially retired the survey foot effective January 1, 2023.
Defined in 1893; officially retired January 2023, but legacy records remain.
