Square Millimeter

What is a 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.

Origin of the square millimeter

Derived by squaring the millimeter, defined as 1/1000 of a meter. The milli- prefix comes from the Latin 'mille' (thousand).

Where it is used

Square millimeters express PCB trace cross-sections, the area of small mechanical features in CAD drawings, biological sample sizes, and material thicknesses.

When and where it was developed

Millimeter has been part of the metric system since 1795.

Manzana

What is a manzana?

A manzana is a unit of land area used in several Central American countries, equal to approximately 6988.96 m² (about 0.7 hectare or 1.73 acres).

Origin of the manzana

Originated as a Spanish colonial unit. Standardized at exactly 10,000 square varas (Spanish varas of about 0.836 m each).

Where it is used

Manzanas are still widely used in agricultural records and rural property in Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and some other Central American countries. Used alongside hectares in modern legal documents.

When and where it was developed

Spanish colonial origin; remains in popular Central American use.
