Convert square hectometer to are
Please provide values below to convert square hectometer [hm^2] to are [a], or Convert are to square hectometer.
1 hm^2 = 100 a. To convert square hectometer to are, multiply the value by 100; to go the other way, divide by it (1 a = 0.01 hm^2). Both units measure area and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 hm^2 = 100 a
- 1 a = 0.01 hm^2
- 10 hm^2 = 1000 a
- 100 hm^2 = 10000 a
How to Convert Square Hectometer to Are

Square Hectometer
A square hectometer (hm^2) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides of one hectometer (100 meters).
History/Origin
The square hectometer originated from the metric system's adoption, where 'hecto' denotes a factor of 100. It has been used primarily in scientific and geographical contexts to measure large areas.
Current Use
The square hectometer is rarely used in everyday measurements but is occasionally employed in scientific, environmental, and geographical studies to express large land or area measurements.
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are is still used in some countries for land measurement, especially in real estate and agriculture, but has largely been replaced by the hectare in most contexts.
