Units explained
Township
A township is a unit of area used in the US Public Land Survey System (PLSS), equal to 36 square miles (approximately 93.24 km²).
Defined by the Land Ordinance of 1785 as a 6-mile by 6-mile square, divided into 36 sections of 1 square mile each.
Townships are the largest standard unit in the PLSS and appear in US public land records, county boundaries, and historical land grants throughout the central and western US.
Defined by the US Land Ordinance of 1785.
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.
