What is a Square Yard?
A square yard is the area of a square one yard — three feet — on a side. It survives mainly in trades that sell material off a roll or by the truckload: carpet and flooring in the US and UK were traditionally priced by the square yard, and landscaping supplies still are sold in yards. Its more important role is structural rather than commercial. The acre is defined as an exact whole number of square yards, so the entire imperial system of land measurement is built on this unit rather than on the square foot most people actually quote.
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.
To put both in perspective: a square yard is about the floor space one person stands in comfortably, while a postage stamp is roughly 5 square centimeters.
