Square Decimeter

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.


Square Millimeter

A square millimeter (mm²) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one millimeter.

History/Origin

The square millimeter has been used in scientific and engineering contexts for precise measurement of small areas, especially in fields like electronics and material science, as a subdivision of the metric system established in the 19th century.

Current Use

It is commonly used today in fields such as electronics, manufacturing, and scientific research to measure small surface areas, including the cross-sectional areas of wires and components.
