Units explained
Square US Survey Mile
A square US survey mile is approximately 2,589,998 m², slightly larger than the international square mile.
Derived by squaring the US survey mile (5280 US survey feet).
Square US survey miles appear in older US Public Land Survey System records and state plane coordinate systems pre-dating 2023.
Defined in 1893; retired January 2023.
Square Centimeter
A square centimeter is a metric unit of area equal to 10⁻⁴ m² (1 cm × 1 cm). It is widely used in everyday measurement, lab work, and small-area applications.
Derived by squaring the centimeter (1/100 of a meter). The centi- prefix comes from the Latin 'centum' (hundred).
Square centimeters express the cross-sectional area of pipes and cables, the surface area of small everyday objects, biological tissue samples, and many engineering quantities. The SI unit for medical/pharmaceutical dose-per-area is often expressed in cm².
Centimeter has been part of the metric system since 1795.
