A Square Foot, commonly abbreviated as sq ft, is a unit of area used in the United States and some other regions. It is defined as the area of a square with sides that are one foot in length. One square foot equals 144 square inches, 1/9th of a square yard, or approximately 0.092903 square meters. It's widely used in real estate, architecture, and interior space planning.
Definition of SquareChainA Square Chain, typically abbreviated as sq ch, is a less common unit of area that is primarily used in land surveying. One Square Chain equals the area of a square where each side measures one chain in length, which is 66 feet. Therefore, a Square Chain is equivalent to 4,356 square feet or 10 square rods. It is part of the imperial system and is still used in some cadastral mapping and land plots.
