Current Use
The square micrometer is used in fields such as microbiology, materials science, and nanotechnology to measure tiny surface areas, particle sizes, and microscopic features.
Are
The are is a metric unit of area equal to 100 square meters.
History/Origin
The are was introduced in France in the 19th century as a convenient unit for measuring land area, particularly in agriculture and real estate.
