Square Inches (in²)
Definition
A square inch (in²) is an imperial unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides of 1 inch. It equals approximately 6.4516 square centimeters.
History
The square inch evolved from the British imperial system. The inch itself was historically defined as the width of a man's thumb, and was standardized to exactly 25.4 mm in 1959 by international agreement.
Current use
Square inches are used in the United States and the United Kingdom for measuring the area of small objects, cross-sections, screen sizes, pressure specifications (PSI), and manufacturing tolerances.
Square Yards (yd²)
Definition
A square yard (yd²) is an imperial unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides of 1 yard (3 feet). It equals 9 square feet or approximately 0.8361 square meters.
History
The yard has roots in Anglo-Saxon England. King Henry I reportedly defined the yard as the distance from his nose to the tip of his outstretched arm. The square yard became a natural unit for measuring moderate-sized areas.
Current use
Square yards are used for measuring carpet, flooring, fabric, and moderate land areas — especially in the United States, the United Kingdom, and India for construction and textile industries.
