Comparison of 1 square metre with some Imperial and metric units of area
The square metre (international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures ) or square meter (American spelling ) is the unit of area in the International System of Units (SI ) with symbol m 2 [1] square with sides one metre in length.
Adding and subtracting SI prefixes creates multiples and submultiples; however, as the unit is exponentiated , the quantities grow exponentially by the corresponding power of 10 . For example, 1 kilometre is 103 thousand ) times the length of 1 metre, but 1 square kilometre is (10 3 2 10 6 million ) times the area of 1 square metre, and 1 cubic kilometre is (10 3 3 10 9 billion ) cubic metres.
