It has been suggested that Area (geometry) be merged into this article or section. (Discuss)

This article is about the physical quantity. For other uses, see Area (disambiguation).

Area is a quantity expressing the two-dimensional size of a defined part of a surface, typically a region bounded by a closed curve. The term surface area refers to the total area of the exposed surface of a 3-dimensional solid, such as the sum of the areas of the exposed sides of a polyhedron.

Units

Units for measuring surface area include:

Metric

square metre (mÂ²) = SI derived unit

are (a) = 100 square metres (mÂ²)

hectare (ha) = 10,000 square metres (mÂ²)

square kilometre (kmÂ²) = 1,000,000 square metres (mÂ²)

square megametre (MmÂ²) = 10¹² square metres (mÂ²)

US & Imperial Units

square foot = 144 square inches = 0.09290304 square metres (mÂ²)

square yard = 9 square feet = 0.83612736 square metres (mÂ²)

square perch = 30.25 square yards = 25.2928526 square metres (mÂ²)

acre = 160 square perches or 4,840 square yards or 43,560 square feet = 4046.8564224 square metres (mÂ²)

square mile = 640 acres = 2.5899881103 square kilometres (kmÂ²)
