What are Circular Mil and Arpent

A circular mil is a unit of area used primarily in the United States to denote the cross-sectional area of a circular wire or cable. One circular mil is the area of a circle with a diameter of one mil (one thousandth of an inch). It's a critical measurement in electrical wiring and the calculation of resistance.

An arpent is a historical unit of land area that was used in France, Louisiana, and Canada. It varied in size from region to region; however, in Quebec and Louisiana, one arpent was typically about 0.845 acres or 3,422 square meters. It's no longer widely used but remains a part of legal descriptions of land in some areas.
