The "square mile (US survey)" is a unit of area used in the United States primarily for land surveying and mapping purposes. It is different from the standard square mile, as 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 mile (US survey) is equal to approximately 3,097,600 square square meters (m²) or about 2.589988110336 square kilometers (km²).
This unit is used in various land-related applications, particularly in the United States, where the U.S. survey foot and the square mile (US survey) are still employed for legal and historical reasons in certain land surveys and property descriptions. It is important to be aware of the specific units being used when dealing with land measurements to avoid any discrepancies or errors.
A square decameter (often abbreviated as dam²) is a unit of area in the International System of Units (SI). It represents a square with sides that each measure 10 meters (1,000 centimeters) in length.
One square decameter is equal to 100 square meters (m²) because each side of the square is 10 meters long, and when you square that length, you get 100 square meters.
Square decameters are not as commonly used as some other units of area, but they can be used to describe moderate-sized land areas, and they are a part of the metric system for measuring area.
