Square Chain
A square chain (ch^2) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one chain (66 feet) each, equivalent to 4356 square feet.
History/Origin
The square chain originated in land measurement practices in England, particularly used in surveying and land division during the 19th century, especially in the context of the Imperial system.
Current Use
Today, the square chain is largely obsolete and rarely used outside historical or land survey contexts; modern measurements typically employ acres or square meters.
Are
The are is a metric unit of area equal to 100 square meters.
History/Origin
The are was introduced in France in the 19th century as a convenient unit for measuring land area, particularly in agriculture and real estate.
Current Use
The are is still used in some countries for land measurement, especially in real estate and agriculture, but has largely been replaced by the hectare in most contexts.
