A square millimeter (mm²) is a unit of area equal to the area of a square with sides measuring one millimeter.
History/Origin
The square millimeter has been used in scientific and engineering contexts for precise measurement of small areas, especially in fields like electronics and material science, as a subdivision of the metric system established in the 19th century.
Current Use
It is commonly used today in fields such as electronics, manufacturing, and scientific research to measure small surface areas, including the cross-sectional areas of wires and components.
Section
A section is a unit of area measurement used to quantify a specific portion of a larger area, typically in land or land-related contexts.
History/Origin
The term 'section' originated from land surveying practices, particularly in the United States Public Land Survey System, where it refers to a square mile area (640 acres). It has been used historically to subdivide land for legal and administrative purposes.
