Square Dekameter

A square dekameter (dam²) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one dekameter (10 meters).

History/Origin

The square dekameter originated from the metric system, which was developed in the late 18th century to standardize measurements. It is derived from the dekameter, a metric unit of length, and used primarily in contexts requiring larger area measurements.

Current Use

The square dekameter is rarely used in modern practice, having been largely replaced by the hectare (ha) for land measurement. It may still be encountered in scientific or educational contexts involving metric area conversions.


Section

A section is a unit of area measurement used to quantify a specific portion of a larger area, typically in land or land-related contexts.

History/Origin

The term 'section' originated from land surveying practices, particularly in the United States Public Land Survey System, where it refers to a square mile area (640 acres). It has been used historically to subdivide land for legal and administrative purposes.

Current Use

Today, 'section' is primarily used in land surveying, real estate, and legal contexts to describe specific parcels of land, especially in regions that follow the Public Land Survey System or similar subdivision methods.
