Square Decimeter [dm²]


A square decimeter (dm²) is a unit of area equal to a square with sides 1 decimeter (10 centimeters) long.

1 dm² = 0.01 m² = 100 cm².

It is commonly used to measure small surfaces, such as the area of tiles or sheets of paper.


Square Chain [ch²]


A square chain (ch²) is a unit of area used in land surveying, especially in the US and UK. It represents the area of a square with sides one chain long.



  • 1 chain = 66 feet (20.1168 meters)



  • 1 square chain = 66 ft × 66 ft = 4,356 square feet ≈ 404.69 m²



  • 10 square chains = 1 acre



Square chains are used to measure land parcels and agricultural fields.
