A square decimeter (dm^2) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides of one decimeter (10 centimeters).
History/Origin
The square decimeter is derived from the decimeter, a metric unit of length, and has been used in metric measurements for expressing small to moderate areas, especially in scientific and engineering contexts since the adoption of the metric system.
Current Use
The square decimeter is used in various fields such as engineering, architecture, and science for measuring small surface areas, particularly where metric units are standard and precise measurements are required.
