History of Square Kilometer
Square
kilometer is abbreviated as sq. km or km2 and is used to specify the span of
area inside any polygon or closed shape. It is one of the SI units first met in
a science class wherein students are taught how to measure surface area of
objects in an efficient manner. For instance, the area inside a triangle’s
perimeter, which falls underneath its height and length measurements, is
exactly determined by using a square-based unit of measurement known as square
centimeter or one square meter to be exact. On the other hand, for tensile
mathematical solutions that require defining surface areas in physics classes
such as those who involve studying heat transfer applications, it might be
helpful if you familiarized yourself with this measurement unit, which gives a
base x100 multiplier for its counterpart commonly used, which refers to one
square centimeter (cm2).
The square
kilometer is a unit of area that is often used in measuring land area. Its
history can be traced back to the times of the early Egyptians who used it to
measure the area of their farmland. The square kilometer was also used by the
Romans and the Greeks. In more recent times, the square kilometer has been used
in the measurement of large tracts of land, such as countries and states.
More about Square Kilometer
The square
kilometer is a unit of area in the metric system, and its history dates back to
the early days of the metric system itself. The square kilometer was first used
in France in the late 18th century, and it soon became a standard unit of
measure in the metric system. The square kilometer remained a standard unit of
measure in the metric system until the late 20th century, when it was replaced
by the square meter as the standard unit of area in the metric system.
"One square kilometer is a unit of area,
equal to 1 million square meters. It is also abbreviated as 'km2'. For example,
India has an area of 3,287,263 km2, this means it has a total surface area of
about 31.7 million acres.
A Square
Kilometer is an area measurement unit used in Countries with the metric System.
It measures a surface of 1 x 1 kilometers.
