The "square foot (US survey)" is a unit of area used in the United States primarily for land surveying and mapping purposes. It differs from the standard square foot because it is based on the U.S. survey foot, which is a historical unit of length used in land surveying in the United States. The U.S. survey foot is slightly different from the international foot.
One square foot (US survey) is equal to approximately 0.0929034119223 square meters (m²) or about 0.111111 square yards (yd²).
This unit is used in various land-related applications, particularly in the United States, where the U.S. survey foot and the square foot (US survey) are still employed for legal and historical reasons in certain land surveys and property descriptions. It's essential to be aware of the specific units being used when dealing with land measurements to avoid any discrepancies or errors.
The term "circular inch" is not a standard unit of measurement within the International System of Units (SI) or any widely recognized system of measurement. It's not commonly used in scientific or engineering contexts.
However, it's possible that the term "circular inch" may be used informally or in specialized industries to describe a measurement related to the circumference or area of a circle, particularly in contexts where precision matters. If you encounter this term, you would need to refer to the specific context or industry where it's being used to understand its meaning and how it is being applied.
