Total non sequiter but is there a way to differentiate between 100 square meters (25 meters x 4 meters) and 100 meters squared (100 meters x 100 meters)

[–] incogtino 12 points 2 months ago

100 meters squared only ever needs to be said after someone asks you what a hectare is - or if they know but you want to show off the symetrical dinensions of your hectare

I never heard "x meters squared", 100 "meters squared" (10,000 m²) is a hectare, or 1% of a km² if you will

This is another example of the failures of the imperial system of measurements.

We get acres which aren't even a square unit in its purist form.

It's like 6.5' x 66.5' or 1 rod by 1 chain (10 rods)

Half a hectare, 0.4 actually

100 m²

(100 m)²

Legit not trying to be a pedantic asshole so apologies in advance but how would you write that without notation if you were trying to communicate it clearly via text.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

100 square meters = 100 m^2

100 meters squared = (100 m)^2 = 10000 m^2

Ideally, if you're talking about area you'd want to make sure you stick to the form "square meters".
