Section
A section is a unit of area measurement used to quantify a specific portion of a larger area, typically in land or land-related contexts.
History/Origin
The term 'section' originated from land surveying practices, particularly in the United States Public Land Survey System, where it refers to a square mile area (640 acres). It has been used historically to subdivide land for legal and administrative purposes.
Current Use
Today, 'section' is primarily used in land surveying, real estate, and legal contexts to describe specific parcels of land, especially in regions that follow the Public Land Survey System or similar subdivision methods.
Are
The are is a metric unit of area equal to 100 square meters.
History/Origin
The are was introduced in France in the 19th century as a convenient unit for measuring land area, particularly in agriculture and real estate.
Current Use
The are is still used in some countries for land measurement, especially in real estate and agriculture, but has largely been replaced by the hectare in most contexts.
