Hectometer and Square Hectometer – A Short Note

A hectometer (symbol: hm) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to:

1 hectometer = 100 meters

Hectometers are not as commonly used in everyday measurements but can be useful for measuring medium-large distances, like the length of sports fields or large plots of land.

A square hectometer (symbol: hm²) is a unit of area representing a square with sides one hectometer long:

1 hm² = (100 m) × (100 m) = 10,000 m²

Square hectometers are used to measure fairly large areas, such as farms, parks, or large property plots.

In summary:

• 
  

  Hectometer (hm) measures moderate lengths (hundreds of meters)

  
  
• 
  

  Square hectometer (hm²) measures substantial areas (thousands of square meters)

  
  
• 
  

  Used in land measurement and agriculture contexts

  
  

Picometer and Square Picometer – A Short Note

A picometer (symbol: pm) is a metric unit of length equal to:

1 picometer = 10⁻¹² meters

It is used to measure extremely small distances, typically at the atomic and molecular scale. For example, the diameter of a hydrogen atom is about 50–120 picometers. Scientists use picometers in fields like chemistry, nanotechnology, and physics to describe the size of atoms, chemical bonds, and tiny structures.

A square picometer (symbol: pm²) is a unit of area, representing a square with each side one picometer long:

1 pm² = (10⁻¹² m) × (10⁻¹² m) = 10⁻²⁴ m²

This unit is used to express extremely small surface areas, such as the cross-sectional area of atoms or molecules.

In summary:

• 
  

  Picometer (pm) measures ultra-small lengths

  
  
• 
  

  Square picometer (pm²) measures extremely small areas
