What are Hectometer and Rood

Definition of Hectometer

A hectometer (hm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 100 meters or one-tenth of a kilometer. It is not commonly used in everyday measurements but can be applied in mapping or large-scale agricultural planning. When referring to a square hectometer (hm^2), it signifies an area of one hectometer by one hectometer, equivalent to 10,000 square meters or one hectare.

Definition of Rood

A rood is a historical English unit of area, which is equivalent to one-quarter of an acre or 1,011.7141056 square meters. Traditionally used in land measurement, a rood could also refer to a strip of land that was one furlong (660 feet) long and one rod (16.5 feet) wide. The term is now rarely used, with more standardized units taking precedence.
