A square metre is a measure of area and you would not normally measure a square metre. You would measure the linear dimensions of the shape and calculate the area.

One reason that you would not measure a square metre is that it can come in all shapes:

  • a circle with a radius of 1/sqrt(pi) metres,
  • an equilateral triangle with sides of 2/fourth root (3) metres.
  • a right angled isosceles triangle with sides of sqrt(2) metres.
  • a square with sides of 1 metres.
and so on.
