Conversion Formula
To convert in² to cm²: multiply by 6.4516. To ft²: divide by 144.
Practical Applications
PSI (pounds per square inch) pressure measurement, print resolution, material cross-sections, and small parts dimensions.
Interesting Facts
The resolution of printed photos is measured in DPI (dots per inch). A 300 DPI print has 90,000 dots per square inch.
Common Mistakes
Thinking 1 ft² = 12 in² (it's actually 144 in², since 12 × 12 = 144). The square of the conversion factor catches people off guard.
Educational Tips
Remember: 1 ft = 12 in, so 1 ft² = 12² in² = 144 in². Always square the linear conversion factor.
About Hectare (ha)
Definition
The hectare is a metric unit of area equal to 10,000 square meters, or 100 ares — the area of a square 100 meters on each side.
Mathematical Relationship
1 ha = 10,000 m² = 100 a = 0.01 km² ≈ 2.471 acres.
Conversion Formula
To convert ha to acres: multiply by 2.471. To km²: divide by 100. To m²: multiply by 10,000.
Practical Applications
Farm sizes, vineyard areas, forestry management, urban planning zones, and national park boundaries.
Interesting Facts
Singapore has a total area of about 72,800 ha. The Amazon rainforest loses about 1 million ha per year to deforestation.
Common Mistakes
Confusing hectare with acre — a hectare is about 2.47 acres, not equal to one. Also, 1 km² = 100 ha, not 1,000.
Educational Tips
A hectare = 100 m × 100 m. A football field is about 0.7 ha. Two football fields ≈ 1.4 ha — close to 1 ha.
