About these units
Square Centimeter (cm²)
A square centimeter is the area of a square 1 cm per side. It is widely used in medicine, biology, and materials science because it provides a practical scale for human-sized and laboratory-sized areas. Dermatologists measure wound sizes in cm², biologists quantify cell culture plates in cm², and materials engineers specify surface treatments, coatings, and cross-sections using this unit. The cm² offers an intuitive middle ground between mm² (too small for many biological phenomena) and m² (too large for typical laboratory work), making it a universal unit in the sciences.
Section (section)
A section is a unit of area equal to one square mile, or 640 acres, derived from the PLSS township system. Each township contains 36 sections arranged in a 6-by-6 grid. Sections were historically granted to settlers, railroads, and states for development, education funding, and agricultural expansion. Because a section is large but manageable, it provided a logical unit for dividing land among homesteaders. Even today, the section persists as a foundation of rural property boundaries. Many farms, ranches, and municipal boundaries reference section lines, reflecting how 19th-century surveying still shapes 21st-century land use.
