Metric / SI

Square Centimeter

What is a 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.

Origin of the square centimeter

Derived by squaring the centimeter (1/100 of a meter). The centi- prefix comes from the Latin 'centum' (hundred).

Where it is used

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.

When and where it was developed

Centimeter has been part of the metric system since 1795.

Feddan

What is a feddan?

A feddan is an Egyptian unit of land area equal to approximately 4200.83 m² (about 1.038 acres). Used in Egypt, Sudan, Syria, and Oman.

Origin of the feddan

Originated as an Egyptian agricultural unit. Standardized at 4200.83 m² in modern Egyptian law (specifically, 333.33 qasaba squared).

Where it is used

Feddans are the primary unit for agricultural land in Egypt and several Arab countries. The conversion to hectares (1 feddan ≈ 0.42 hectare) is widely known regionally.

When and where it was developed

Standardized in modern Egyptian land law.

Square Centimeter to Feddan conversion formula

The relationship between square centimeters and feddans:

1 cm² = 2.380482e-8 feddan

Step-by-step: convert square centimeters to feddans

  1. Write down the value in square centimeters (cm²).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 2.380482e-8.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in feddans (feddan).
  4. To reverse, multiply the feddan value by 4.20083e+7.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 cm² to feddan:
1 × 2.380482e-8 = 2.380482e-8 feddan

Example 2 — Convert 100 cm² to feddan:
100 × 2.380482e-8 = 2.380482e-6 feddan

Real-world example — Feature-scale to long-haul

One billion square centimeters equals exactly one feddan — the conversion an optical-network engineer performs when totalling feature-level path lengths into a single long-haul fiber-link distance.

1e+9 cm² × 2.380482e-8 = 23.8048195238 feddan

Real-world example — Fiber-optic link lengths

Converting from microscale square centimeters to the feddans of a long-haul fiber link is the conversion an optical engineer performs when calculating attenuation per kilometre of fiber.

1e+9 cm² × 2.380482e-8 = 23.8048195238 feddan
