About these units
Hectare
The hectare (10,000 m²) has been used in metric countries since the 19th century as the practical unit for medium to large land areas. It is widely used in agriculture, forestry, and national statistics.
Square Meter
The square meter is the SI base unit of area. For detailed plans, engineering calculations, and precise measurements, square meters provide the precision that the hectare's large scale does not.
