The square centimeter (symbol: cm² or sometimes sq cm) is a unit of area in the International System of Units (SI). It represents the area of a square whose sides measure exactly one centimeter in length.
Key relationships:
- 1 cm² = 1 centimeter × 1 centimeter
- 1 cm² = 100 square millimeters (mm²) (since 1 cm = 10 mm)
- 1 cm² = 0.0001 square meters (m²) or 1/10,000 m²
- 1 cm² ≈ 0.155 square inches (in²)
- 10,000 cm² = 1 square meter
Visual perspective (how big is it?):
- 1 cm² = Size of an adult fingernail
- 5 cm² = Large coin (quarter)
- 10 cm² = Large postage stamp
- 50 cm² = Standard credit card
- 100 cm² = Smartphone screen
- 1,000 cm² = Tablet screen or small notebook
It is a derived SI unit, formed by squaring the SI base unit of length, the meter (via the centimeter).

The Mathematical Definition
1 Acre = 43,560 square feet
This definition comes from the traditional measurement:
- 1 chain = 66 feet (Gunter's chain)
- 1 furlong = 660 feet (10 chains)
- 1 acre = 1 chain × 1 furlong = 66 ft × 660 ft = 43,560 sq ft
In Other Units:
- Square Yards: $\frac{43,560}{9} = 4,840 \text{ sq yd}$
- Square Meters: $43,560 \times 0.09290304 = 4,046.856 \text{ m}^2$
- Hectares: $\frac{4,046.856}{10,000} = 0.4047 \text{ ha}$
Shape Doesn't Matter
An acre can be any shape as long as the total area is 43,560 sq ft.
- Square Acre: 208.71 ft × 208.71 ft
- Rectangular Acre: 66 ft × 660 ft (traditional furlong × chain)
- Circular Acre: Radius of 117.75 ft
- Irregular Acre: Any polygon with 43,560 sq ft area
The "Chain" System
The acre is part of an elegant measurement system based on Gunter's chain:
- 1 link = 7.92 inches (0.66 ft)
- 1 chain = 100 links = 66 ft
- 1 furlong = 10 chains = 660 ft = 1/8 mile
- 1 mile = 8 furlongs = 80 chains = 5,280 ft
- 1 acre = 10 square chains
This system made surveying incredibly efficient. A surveyor could measure land using a physical chain and easily calculate acreage.
Note: The Square Centimeter is part of the metric (SI) system, primarily used globally in science and trade. The Acre belongs to the imperial/US customary system.
History of the Square Centimeter and Acre
-
Metric System Origins: The concept of the square centimeter naturally arose with the establishment of the metric system during the late 18th century in France (1790s). As the centimeter (one-hundredth of a meter) was defined as a convenient subunit of length, the square centimeter became the corresponding unit for small areas.
-
Educational Adoption: Throughout the 19th century, as schools adopted metric education, the square centimeter became fundamental for teaching geometry, area calculation, and spatial reasoning. Its convenient size made it ideal for classroom demonstrations and student measurements.
-
Scientific Standardization: By the early 20th century, scientific disciplines adopted cm² as the standard for reporting:
- Biological surface areas (leaves, petri dishes, cell cultures)
- Cross-sectional areas in physics experiments
- Material science surface measurements
- Laboratory specimen documentation
-
SI Adoption: With the formalization of the International System of Units (SI) in 1960, the square meter (m²) was established as the coherent derived unit for area. The square centimeter (cm²), as a direct subdivision (1 cm² = 10⁻⁴ m²), is an accepted SI unit commonly used for measuring smaller areas where the square meter would be impractically large.
-
Medical Usage: The medical field adopted cm² as the standard for documenting:
- Wound sizes and healing progress
- Lesion dimensions
- Organ cross-sections in imaging
- Surgical site measurements
- Body surface area calculations
-
Modern Applications: Today, cm² remains essential in education, medicine, electronics manufacturing, and any application requiring precise measurement of small surfaces. Its human-scale size (fingernail-sized unit) makes it intuitive and practical.
: From Oxen to GPS
Ancient Origins
The concept of measuring land by how much could be worked in a day is ancient and universal:
- Roman Jugerum: The area two oxen could plow in one day (~2/3 acre).
- German Morgen: "Morning's work" of plowing (~0.6-0.9 acres).
- French Arpent: Regional French unit (~0.85 acres).
- English Acre: The amount one man with one ox could plow in one day.
The problem? Soil quality varied. Rocky, hilly land took longer to plow than flat, fertile land. This led to regional variations in the "acre."
Medieval Chaos
In medieval England, there were dozens of different "acres":
- Statute Acre: 43,560 sq ft (the modern standard).
- Irish Acre: 7,840 sq yd (1.62 statute acres).
- Scottish Acre: 6,150 sq yd (1.27 statute acres).
- Cheshire Acre: 10,240 sq yd (2.11 statute acres).
- Cornish Acre: Varied by location.
Land disputes were common because nobody could agree on the size of an acre!
The Gunter Revolution (1620)
Edmund Gunter, an English clergyman and mathematician, invented the surveyor's chain in 1620. This 66-foot chain (divided into 100 links) became the standard tool for land measurement.
Why 66 feet?
- 1 chain = 4 rods (or poles) = 66 feet.
- 10 chains = 1 furlong = 660 feet = 1/8 mile.
- 80 chains = 1 mile = 5,280 feet.
This made calculations trivial:
- 1 acre = 10 square chains.
- 640 acres = 1 square mile.
The Homestead Act (1862)
In the United States, the Homestead Act of 1862 granted 160 acres of public land to settlers who would farm it for 5 years. This "quarter section" (1/4 of a square mile) became the iconic American farm size.
The Grid System:
- 1 section = 1 square mile = 640 acres.
- 1 quarter section = 160 acres (homestead).
- 1 township = 36 sections = 23,040 acres = 36 square miles.
This grid system is why much of the American Midwest has perfectly straight roads running north-south and east-west.
Modern Standardization
- 1878: Weights and Measures Act (UK) formalized the "statutory acre."
- 1959: International yard and pound agreement standardized the acre globally.
- Today: The acre is legally defined as exactly 4,046.8564224 square meters.

Additional Unit Information
About Square Centimeter (cm²)
How small is a square centimeter visually?
One square centimeter is the area of a square 1 cm by 1 cm. Visually, it's roughly:
Body references:
- Adult index fingernail: About 1 cm²
- Thumbnail: About 1.5-2 cm²
- Child's fingernail: About 0.5 cm²
Common objects:
- Slightly smaller than a standard US postage stamp (~6-8 cm²)
- One face of a standard six-sided die (about 1 cm² per face)
- Small button: About 1-2 cm²
- One square on 1cm grid paper: Exactly 1 cm²
To visualize: Draw a 10mm × 10mm square - that's 1 cm². Or look at your fingernail!
How many square millimeters (mm²) are in a square centimeter (cm²)?
There are exactly 100 square millimeters (mm²) in one square centimeter (cm²).
Why 100?: Because 1 cm = 10 mm, so: 1 cm² = (10 mm) × (10 mm) = 100 mm²
Conversion:
- 1 cm² = 100 mm²
- To convert cm² to mm²: multiply by 100
- To convert mm² to cm²: divide by 100
Examples:
- 5 cm² = 500 mm²
- 0.5 cm² = 50 mm²
- 250 mm² = 2.5 cm²
Use our cm² to mm² converter for instant conversions.
How many square centimeters (cm²) are in a square meter (m²)?
There are exactly 10,000 square centimeters (cm²) in one square meter (m²).
Why 10,000?: Because 1 m = 100 cm, so: 1 m² = (100 cm) × (100 cm) = 10,000 cm²
Conversion:
- 1 m² = 10,000 cm²
- To convert m² to cm²: multiply by 10,000
- To convert cm² to m²: divide by 10,000
Examples:
- 0.5 m² = 5,000 cm²
- 0.01 m² = 100 cm²
- 15,000 cm² = 1.5 m²
Convert between them: cm² to m² | m² to cm²
How do you convert square centimeters (cm²) to square inches (in²)?
To convert square centimeters to square inches, multiply by approximately 0.155.
Conversion formula: in² = cm² × 0.155
Examples:
- 1 cm² ≈ 0.155 in²
- 10 cm² ≈ 1.55 in²
- 100 cm² ≈ 15.5 in²
- 50 cm² ≈ 7.75 in²
Reverse conversion (in² to cm²):
- Multiply by 6.4516
- 1 in² ≈ 6.45 cm²
- Example: 5 in² ≈ 32.26 cm²
Why 0.155?:
- 1 cm = 0.3937 inches
- 1 cm² = (0.3937)² ≈ 0.155 in²
Use our cm² to in² converter for accurate conversions.
Is the square centimeter (cm²) an SI unit?
Yes, the square centimeter (cm²) is a derived unit of area within the International System of Units (SI).
Details:
- Coherent SI unit for area: square meter (m²)
- cm² = 10⁻⁴ m² (accepted SI subdivision)
- Formed using: SI prefix (centi-) + SI base unit (meter)
- Widely accepted: In scientific and technical literature
Why both m² and cm² exist:
- m²: For large areas (rooms, land)
- cm²: For small areas (components, samples)
- Both are valid SI units
In practice:
- Use cm² when m² would give impractically small decimals
- Example: 0.005 m² vs 50 cm² (cm² is clearer)
When is cm² used instead of m²?
Square centimeters (cm²) are preferred when measuring areas significantly smaller than one square meter.
Use cm² when:
- Area < 0.1 m² (< 1,000 cm²)
- Precision matters at small scales
- Decimal avoidance: Rather than 0.005 m², use 50 cm²
- Standard practice in your field
Examples of cm² usage:
- Medical: Wound = 25 cm² (not 0.0025 m²)
- Electronics: IC = 2 cm² (not 0.0002 m²)
- Education: Card = 45 cm² (not 0.0045 m²)
Use m² when:
- Area > 1 m² (or even > 0.5 m²)
- Large surfaces (rooms, floors, walls)
- Construction and architecture
- Real estate
Transition zone (0.1-1 m² = 1,000-10,000 cm²):
- Either unit works
- Use whichever gives clearest numbers
- Example: 0.5 m² = 5,000 cm² (0.5 m² is simpler)
How big is 100 cm² visually?
100 square centimeters = 10 cm × 10 cm (or 0.01 square meters)
Visual comparisons:
- Smartphone screen: Most phones 80-120 cm²
- Large post-it note: About 100 cm² (10×10 cm)
- Coaster: Typical coaster ~80-100 cm²
- Hand palm (adult): Roughly 100-120 cm²
- Small notebook cover: About 100-150 cm²
Standard objects:
- CD/DVD surface: ~113 cm² (including center hole area)
- Baseball card: ~40 cm²
- iPhone screen (standard): ~90-110 cm² depending on model
Square comparison:
- Imagine a 10cm × 10cm square
- That's about 4 inches × 4 inches
- Slightly smaller than a CD
What is measured in square centimeters?
Square centimeters are used for many small-to-medium surfaces:
Medical:
- Wound sizes and lesions
- Surgical sites
- Imaging cross-sections
- Body surface area (BSA) parts
Electronics:
- Microchips and processors

Why cm² is useful:
- Human-scale (fingernail size)
- Avoids tiny decimals (vs m²)
- International standard
- Easy to visualize
How do you calculate area in cm²?
Basic formulas for common shapes:
Rectangle/Square:
- Area = length (cm) × width (cm)
- Example: 8 cm × 5 cm = 40 cm²
Circle:
- Area = π × radius² (where radius is in cm)
- Example: radius = 3 cm
- Area = 3.14159 × 3² ≈ 28.3 cm²
Triangle:
- Area = (base × height) / 2
- Example: base = 10 cm, height = 6 cm
- Area = (10 × 6) / 2 = 30 cm²
Complex shapes:
- Divide into simpler shapes
- Calculate each area
- Add them together
From other units:
- From mm²: divide by 100
- From m²: multiply by 10,000
- From in²: multiply by 6.4516
Measuring irregular shapes:
- Trace on 1cm grid paper
- Count full squares
- Estimate partial squares
- Total = approximate cm²
Use our area converter to check your calculations.
Why use cm² instead of mm² or m²?
Choose the unit that gives the clearest numbers:
Use cm² when:
- Area is between ~1 cm² and 1,000 cm² (0.0001-0.1 m²)
- Object is handheld size
- Medical/educational applications
- Avoiding decimals or large numbers
Use mm² when:
- Very small areas (< 1 cm²)
- Precision engineering
- Tiny components
- Example: 50 mm² vs 0.5 cm²
Use m² when:
- Large areas (> 1,000 cm² or 0.1 m²)
- Rooms, floors, walls
- Construction, real estate
- Example: 2 m² vs 20,000 cm²
Comparison: | Object | Best Unit | Why | |--------|-----------|-----| | Fingernail | 1 cm² | Clear whole number | | IC chip | 200 mm² or 2 cm² | Either works | | Smartphone | 100 cm² | Avoids decimals (vs 0.01 m²) | | Table | 1.5 m² | Better than 15,000 cm² |
Rule of thumb: Use the unit that gives numbers between 0.1 and 10,000 for easiest comprehension.
About Acre (acre)
How big is an acre visually?
The easiest way to visualize an acre:
- Football Field: An acre is about 90.75% of an American football field (including end zones). The field is 120 yards × 53.33 yards = 57,600 sq ft. An acre is 43,560 sq ft.
- Square: A square acre is 208.71 feet on each side. That's about 70 yards × 70 yards.
- Walking: You can walk the perimeter of a square acre in about 3-4 minutes at a normal pace.
How many houses fit on an acre?
Depends on lot size and zoning:
- Urban (Small Lots): 8-12 houses (4,000-5,000 sq ft lots).
- Suburban (Standard): 4-6 houses (7,000-10,000 sq ft lots).
- Suburban (Large): 2-3 houses (15,000-20,000 sq ft lots).
- Rural (Estate): 1 house (entire acre or more).
Zoning Example:
- R-1 (Low Density): 1-2 units per acre.
- R-2 (Medium Density): 4-8 units per acre.
- R-3 (High Density): 12-20 units per acre.
How many acres is a football field?
American Football Field:
- With end zones: 120 yards × 53.33 yards = 57,600 sq ft = 1.32 acres.
- Without end zones: 100 yards × 53.33 yards = 48,000 sq ft = 1.10 acres.
Soccer Field (FIFA):
- Regulation: 100-130 yards × 50-100 yards.
- Typical: 110 yards × 70 yards = 56,700 sq ft = 1.30 acres.
How many acres is a city block?
Varies wildly by city:
- Manhattan (NYC): 2-5 acres (blocks are irregular).
- Chicago: ~3 acres (660 ft × 330 ft blocks).
- Portland: ~2 acres (200 ft × 200 ft blocks).
- Phoenix: ~4 acres (larger grid).
Rule of Thumb: Most US city blocks are 2-5 acres.
How many acres do I need for a house?
Minimum (Legal):
- Urban: 0.1 acres (4,356 sq ft) - typical city lot.
- Suburban: 0.25-0.5 acres - standard suburban lot.
- Rural: 1+ acres - zoning often requires minimum acreage.
Practical:
- Comfortable Home: 0.5-1 acre (room for yard, garden, privacy).
- Hobby Farm: 5-10 acres (horses, chickens, large garden).
- Self-Sufficiency: 10-20 acres (livestock, crops, timber).
How many acres do you need for farming?
Depends on the type of farming:
- Market Garden (Vegetables): 1-5 acres (intensive).
- Orchard: 5-20 acres.
- Cattle (Pasture): 1.5-2 acres per cow (varies by climate/grass quality).
- Grain Farming: 100-1,000+ acres (mechanized).
- Dairy Farm: 50-500 acres (depends on herd size).
USDA Definition of a Farm: Any place that produced and sold at least $1,000 of agricultural products during the year. This can be as small as 1 acre of intensive vegetables or as large as 10,000 acres of wheat.
How do you calculate acreage from dimensions?
For Rectangular Land: $$ \text{Acres} = \frac{\text{Length (ft)} \times \text{Width (ft)}}{43,560} $$
Example: A lot is 200 ft × 300 ft. $$ \frac{200 \times 300}{43,560} = \frac{60,000}{43,560} = 1.38 \text{ acres} $$
For Irregular Shapes:
- Divide the land into triangles or rectangles.
- Calculate the area of each section.
- Add them together.
- Divide by 43,560.
Modern Method: Use GPS or GIS software to trace the boundary and calculate area automatically.
Is an acre the same in all countries?
Mostly yes, but with variations:
- US/UK Acre (Statute Acre): 43,560 sq ft (standard).
- Irish Acre: 7,840 sq yd = 70,560 sq ft = 1.62 statute acres (historical, rarely used today).
- Scottish Acre: 6,150 sq yd = 55,350 sq ft = 1.27 statute acres (historical).
- Acre (International): Since 1959, the "international acre" is standardized at 4,046.8564224 m².
Today: When someone says "acre" without qualification, they mean the statute acre (43,560 sq ft).
Why is an acre 43,560 square feet?
It comes from the furlong × chain definition:
- 1 furlong = 660 feet (1/8 mile, the length of a traditional plowed furrow).
- 1 chain = 66 feet (Gunter's surveying chain).
- 1 acre = 1 furlong × 1 chain = 660 ft × 66 ft = 43,560 sq ft.
This was chosen because it made surveying easy with Gunter's chain (which was exactly 1 chain long).
How many acres is Central Park?
Central Park (New York City): 843 acres (1.317 square miles).
- Length: 2.5 miles (north-south).
- Width: 0.5 miles (east-west).
- Perimeter: ~6 miles.
For comparison:
- Golden Gate Park (San Francisco): 1,017 acres (20% larger than Central Park).
- Hyde Park (London): 350 acres.
