2. Square Meter
A square metre is a unit of area measurement that is used all over
the world to determine two-dimensional areas such as a ground or floor and is widely
acknowledged as the standard international unit of area measurement.
A square meter, often referred to as sq.m. or M2, is a measuring unit of area equivalent to a one metre on each side.
While measuring properties, the area is proportional to the square of the linear dimension.
It should be properly noted. There are, therefore, four times larger areas if the linear dimensions are doubled.
3. Hectare
Hectare is one of the few commonly used land measurement units of
the metric system across the world. It is denoted as 'ha'. The hectare has become more popular,
even though it is the primary metric unit of land measurement. While the acre is also commonly
used to measure land around the world, the hectare and the acre are different in that an
acre is a unit of area, while the hectare is a metric unit. Australia, Burma, Canada,
the European Union, India, the United States, and the United Kingdom are among the geographies
where it is most used. In Argentina, the hectare is known as manzana, in the Netherlands as
bunder, in China as gong qing, and in Iran as jerib.

Originally used in the imperial system of units,
Acre is one of the oldest measuring units used across the world to measure

You can measure an acre for the land of different shapes such as rectangles,
circles, or even pentagons. The land of one acre can be of any length or width
as long as the total land area does not exceed 43,560 square feet.

Indian States. Bigha is being used in Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, Uttar
