Units explained
Marla
A marla is a unit of land area used in Punjab, Haryana, and Pakistani Punjab, equal to approximately 25.293 m² (1/20 of a kanal or 272.25 square feet).
Defined as 1/20 of a kanal during British colonial administration of Punjab. 160 marlas equal 1 acre.
Marlas are the standard small-area unit for residential plots in Punjab, Pakistan, and adjoining regions. Most Punjab property listings cite size in marlas alongside square feet.
Standardized in colonial Punjab.
Square Centimeter
A square centimeter is a metric unit of area equal to 10⁻⁴ m² (1 cm × 1 cm). It is widely used in everyday measurement, lab work, and small-area applications.
Derived by squaring the centimeter (1/100 of a meter). The centi- prefix comes from the Latin 'centum' (hundred).
Square centimeters express the cross-sectional area of pipes and cables, the surface area of small everyday objects, biological tissue samples, and many engineering quantities. The SI unit for medical/pharmaceutical dose-per-area is often expressed in cm².
Centimeter has been part of the metric system since 1795.
