What is a Square Centimeter?
A square centimeter is the area of a square one centimeter on a side, about the size of a shirt button. It is the working unit wherever an area is small enough to measure with a ruler but too big to bother counting in millimeters: the cross-section of a cable or a beam, the size of a burn or a wound in a medical note, a stamp, a sensor, a patch of skin. Clinical and laboratory work leans on it heavily because it keeps figures in the single and double digits, which is the range where a person can compare two numbers at a glance.
What is a Square Foot?
The square foot is the area of a square one foot on a side, and it is the unit American and Indian real estate runs on — apartments, offices and warehouses are advertised, valued and rented by it, while most of Europe quotes the identical thing in square meters. It is also where the commonest conceptual mistake about area surfaces. Area scales with the square of length, so converting a room’s dimensions and converting its floor area are not the same operation: double a room’s length and width and you have not doubled the floor, you have quadrupled it.
To put both in perspective: a postage stamp is roughly 5 square centimeters, while a typical US one-bedroom apartment is around 700 square feet.
