METRIC SQUARE MEASURE Units are related to one another by a
factor of 100 since area is the product
of length and width.

There are two common measures of area

• Acre – unit of land area equal to 4,047

square meters

• Hectare – metric unit of square

measure, equal to 100 ares

The measures are names of a measure of
