What is Area?

Area measures the size of a flat surface. The SI unit is the square meter (m²). Land is usually measured in hectares (10,000 m²) or ares (100 m²), and large regions in square kilometers.

English-speaking countries use square feet (0.0929 m²) and acres (4,046.86 m²). Many traditional land measures are still in use, such as the tarea, fanega and manzana in Latin America, the perch in Sri Lanka, the rai in Thailand and the mu in China.
