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.
Square Millimeter
A square millimeter (mm²) is a very small metric unit of area, defined as the space inside a square that is one millimeter on each side. It is commonly used in engineering, manufacturing, electronics, and medical fields where precise surface measurements matter. Square millimeters allow fine detail without complex decimals.
The metric system ensures that mm² conversions remain straightforward. For example, 100 mm² equals 1 cm², and 1,000,000 mm² equals 1 m². An area converter helps quickly scale from tiny surfaces up to larger areas.
