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.
What is a Hectare?
The hectare is the metric answer to the acre: a square 100 meters on a side, or 10,000 square meters. It is what farmland, forestry, plantation, conservation and deforestation figures are reported in almost everywhere outside the United States. A subtlety worth knowing is that the hectare is not actually an SI unit — like the liter, it is merely accepted for use alongside SI. The coherent unit for land really is the square meter, but nobody wants to state a country’s forest cover with that many zeroes, so the hectare was tolerated into permanence.
To put both in perspective: a typical US one-bedroom apartment is around 700 square feet, while a hectare is a square 100 meters on a side.
