A hectare (ha) is a unit used to measure area in the metric system. In simple terms, one hectare is equal to 10,000 square meters.
It's primarily used for measuring large plots of land, making it a standard unit for agriculture, forestry, and urban planning worldwide.

It can be tricky to picture a unit of measurement.
The easiest way to understand the size of a hectare is to imagine a square with sides that are 100 meters long. The area inside that square is exactly one hectare (100 m × 100 m = 10,000 m2).
To put the size of a hectare into perspective, think about these common examples:
The hectare and the acre are both units used to measure land, but they belong to different measurement systems and are not the same size.
The most significant difference is that the hectare is a metric unit, while the acre is part of the imperial system.
A hectare is significantly larger than an acre. One hectare is equal to about 2.47 acres.
While not an official SI unit, the hectare is the only named unit of area that is accepted for use with the International System of Units.
It is a primary measurement for land in legal and commercial contexts throughout most of the world, particularly in:
Its widespread adoption makes it a universal standard for land measurement. The major exception is the United States, which primarily uses the acre.
A square centimeter (cm2) is a fundamental unit of area in the metric system.
It represents one ten-thousandth of a square meter (10-4 m2).
The plural form is square centimeters.
A square centimeter is the area of a square with sides that are each one centimeter long.
To visualize this, picture the surface area of a single sugar cube or the nail on your pinky finger.
This small, tangible size makes it a go-to unit for measuring smaller objects in science, design, and everyday life, such as the area of a postage stamp or a small electronic component.
The square centimeter is directly derived from the meter.
Since there are 100 centimeters in a meter, a square meter (1m x 1m) contains 10,000 square centimeters (100cm x 100cm).
This relationship is expressed as:
1 m2 = 10,000 cm2
This simple, base-10 conversion is a key advantage of the metric system, making calculations straightforward and precise.
Knowing how to convert square centimeters is crucial. Here are the most common conversions you'll encounter:
To Square Millimeters (mm2): Since 1 cm equals 10 mm, one square centimeter is 10 mm × 10 mm.
1 cm2 = 100 mm2
To Square Inches (in2): The conversion is approximate, as it bridges the metric and imperial systems.
1 cm2 ≈ 0.155 in2
This conversion is crucial in fields that operate with both metric and imperial systems, such as international trade and manufacturing.
