Square Yard

A square yard (yd²) is a unit of area in the imperial system and the U.S. customary system. It is defined as the area of a square with sides that are each 1 yard long. One square yard is equal to 9 square feet or 0.8361 square meters.

Origin:

The square yard is derived from the yard, a unit of length in the imperial system. The yard was originally based on the length of a human's stride or other reference lengths in ancient times, but it became standardized in the 14th century during the reign of King Edward II of England. The square yard, as a unit of area, developed as a way to measure spaces like floors, gardens, and plots of land in a more manageable form than smaller units. The square yard continues to be used today, particularly in real estate, landscaping, and construction, mainly in countries that use the imperial or U.S. customary systems.

Square Millimeter

The square millimeter (mm²) is a unit of area in the metric system, equal to the area of a square with sides that are each 1 millimeter long. One square millimeter is equivalent to 1/1,000,000th of a square meter or 0.000001 square meters. It is commonly used to measure very small areas, such as the cross-sectional area of wires, the area of small components, or minute details in designs and prints.

Origin:

The square millimeter is derived from the millimeter, which is a unit of length in the metric system. The millimeter itself is one thousandth of a meter and was introduced as part of the metric system in the 18th century. The square millimeter is defined as the square of the millimeter, and it follows the principles of the metric system, where area units are derived from the square of the unit of length. As the metric system became more widely adopted globally, the square millimeter became a standard unit for measuring very small areas, especially in fields such as engineering, electronics, and printing.
