Square Centimeter

The square centimeter (cm²) is a unit of area in the metric system, equal to the area of a square with sides that are each 1 centimeter long. One square centimeter is equivalent to 1/10,000th of a square meter or 0.0001 square meters. It is commonly used to measure small areas, such as the surface area of objects, photographs, or pieces of fabric.

Origin:

The square kilometer is derived from the kilometer, which is a unit of length in the metric system. The kilometer itself was introduced in the 18th century as part of the metric system, based on the meter, which was originally defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the North Pole to the equator. The square kilometer, like other area units in the metric system, is based on the square of the unit of length. As the metric system became more widely adopted worldwide, the square kilometer became a standard unit for measuring large areas, particularly in geography, urban planning, and land management.

Square Micrometer

The square micrometer (µm²) is a unit of area in the metric system, equal to the area of a square with sides that are each 1 micrometer long. One square micrometer is equivalent to 1/1,000,000th of a square millimeter or 10⁻¹² square meters. It is commonly used to measure very small areas, such as the surface area of cells, microorganisms, or fine particles.

Origin:

The square micrometer is derived from the micrometer (µm), which is a unit of length in the metric system. The micrometer is one millionth of a meter (10⁻⁶ meters) and was introduced to measure small lengths that are beyond the resolution of the human eye, such as the size of bacteria, cells, and microscopic structures. The square micrometer, being the square of the micrometer, is used to measure areas at the microscopic scale. As fields such as biology, medicine, and materials science advanced, the square micrometer became a standard unit for measuring areas in these disciplines.
