-as of [9 APRIL 2024]–
.
-the ‘square meter’ is the unit of ‘area’ in the ‘International System of Units’ (SI) with symbol m2-
.
It is the area of a square with sides one metre in length.
Adding and subtracting SI prefixes creates multiples and submultiples
however, as the unit is exponentiated, the quantities grow exponentially by the corresponding power of 10
For example, 1 kilometre is 103 (one thousand) times the length of 1 metre, but 1 square kilometre is (103)2 (106, one million) times the area of 1 square metre, and 1 cubic kilometre is (103)3 (109, one billion) cubic metres.
