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.

Ares (a)

Definition

An are (a) is a metric unit of area equal to 100 square meters. It represents the area of a square with sides of 10 meters.

History

The are was introduced as part of the metric system in France in 1795. While officially still a recognized unit, it has largely been superseded by the hectare in most practical applications.

Current use

Ares are used primarily in some European countries for measuring small to medium land plots, gardens, and agricultural parcels. In France, Belgium, and Luxembourg, land listings sometimes reference ares.
