The basic unit of area in the Metric System is the ar, a unit equal to 100 square meters. However for most practical purposes the nonstandard unit of area is the hectare, which is 100 ares or 10,000 square meters.

Area is typically measured in square units, such as square meters (m^2) or square feet (ft^2).

There are many units used to describe area. Most start with the word 'square' e.g 'square feet', 'square metres'. Some larger areas have specific names e.g. 'acres' and 'hectares'.
