What are Square Foot and Barn

Definition of Square Foot

A square foot is a unit of area used in the imperial and U.S. customary measurement systems. It is defined as the area of a square with sides each one foot long. One square foot is equal to 144 square inches, 0.093 square meters, or 929.0304 square centimeters. This measurement is commonly used in real estate, architecture, and interior space planning.

Definition of Barn

A barn is a non-SI unit of area commonly used in nuclear physics to quantify the scattering or absorption cross-section of very small particles, such as atomic nuclei. One barn is equal to 1e-28 square meters, or 100 square femtometers. It is used because of its convenience when dealing with the extremely small areas encountered in these types of measurements.
