Homestead

A homestead traditionally refers to a parcel of land granted or owned, often for farming or settlement purposes. In the U.S. context, under laws like the Homestead Act, a typical homestead was:

• 
  

  160 acres (about 65 hectares) of public land granted to settlers.

  
  
• 
  

  Used to encourage settlement and cultivation.

  
  

Today, the term can also mean a family’s residence and surrounding land, especially a farm or ranch.

Square Mil [mil²]

A square mil (mil²) is a very small unit of area used mainly in engineering and manufacturing, especially for measuring the cross-sectional area of wires and thin materials.

• 
  

  1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch (0.001 inch)

  
  
• 
  

  1 square mil = (0.001 inch)² = 0.000001 square inches (in²)

  
  
• 
  

  1 square mil ≈ 6.4516 × 10⁻¹⁰ square meters (m²)

  
  

Square mils are useful for precise measurements in electronics and materials science.
