In the context of land surveying and property descriptions in the United States, a "section" refers to a specific unit of land division. It is part of the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), which was established to survey and divide land in the United States, particularly in the western and central parts of the country.
A square centimeter (often abbreviated as cm²) is a unit of area in the International System of Units (SI). It represents a square with sides that each measure 1 centimeter (cm) in length.
One square centimeter is equal to 0.0001 square meters (m²) because there are 100 centimeters in a meter, and when you square that length, you get 0.01 square meters.
To visualize the size of a square centimeter, you can imagine a tiny square with sides that are each 1 centimeter long. It is a small unit of area and is often used for measurements of small objects or details, especially in scientific and engineering contexts.
