Hectare
A hectare (ha) is a land measurement unit commonly used in agriculture and real estate in metric-based countries. One hectare equals 10,000 square meters — a square that measures 100 meters on each side. Its scale makes land sizes easier to visualize than large numbers of square meters.
The hectare bridges the gap between household and geographic areas, making it effective for farms, parks, and large property developments.
Square Yard
A square yard (yd²) measures the area of a square one yard per side. It is commonly used for landscaping, fabric, and carpeting. Its mid-range scale makes it ideal for areas too small for square feet alone but too large for centimeters.
It remains useful in both US and UK contexts across consumer and professional settings.
