Inch and Square Inch 

An inch is a unit of length commonly used in the United States and other countries following the imperial system. It is equal to 1/12 of a foot or approximately 2.54 centimeters. Inches are typically used to measure small distances or dimensions, such as the size of a screen or the height of an object.

A square inch (written as in²) is a unit of area that represents a square with sides that are one inch in length. It is used to measure surface area, such as the area of a piece of paper, a screen, or a section of flooring. One square inch equals 6.45 square centimeters.

While inches measure one-dimensional length, square inches measure two-dimensional area. Understanding the difference between the two is important in fields such as construction, design, and manufacturing where both length and area are frequently calculated.

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)
