What are Hectometer and Pole

Definition of Hectometer

A hectometer, symbolized as 'hm', is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 100 meters. It's not widely used in everyday measurements but is recognized in the International System of Units. The term 'hecto-' is derived from the Greek 'hekaton' meaning 'hundred'. Therefore, a square hectometer (hm²) refers to the area of a square with sides each measuring one hectometer, equivalent to 10,000 square meters or one hectare.

Definition of Pole

A pole, also known as a rod or a perch, is a historical unit of length that was commonly used in surveying. One pole is equivalent to 16.5 feet or 5.0292 meters. When it comes to area measurement, a square pole (pole²) reflects the area of a square with each side measuring one pole in length. This unit is not commonly used today, but it has historical significance in the English measurement system.
