Definiton of Customary Unit?

A Customary Unit or non-SI unit is a measurement unit that is not part of the metric system. Customary units are mainly units of the Imperial system but they could be localised customary units - such as Gaj (for area) is South Asia.


How many yards is 16 hectares in the customary system?

A yard is a unit of length. A hectare is a unit of area. The two units are therefore incompatible.


What units of measurement used for area?

In SI system of units, area has metre sqaure as the unit. ie m2


Is AREA is measured in square units?

YES!!! For example;- A rectangle may have sides of 3 units and 5 uints. To find the area you multiply these two sides together. Hence Area = 3 units X 5 units = 15 sq. units(square units ) Note the use of the word 'square for area units. Theis method of description is used when measurements are in the Imperial System/ However when using the Metric system, , the units are described as 'Units^2'. Volume becomes 'cu.units' ( cubic units) ; Imperial and 'units^3' ( Metric)


What is formula of calculating area of a room into metric system?

Area of rectangular room = length * breadth. it is measured in square units.


Why is area derived unit?

In the SI, the square meter is derived from the meter (meter x meter). But in general, which units are derived and which are base units really depends on the system of measurement chosen. You could define a unit of area as a base unit, and derive a length as the square root of that - although I don't think any serious system of units has actually done that so far.


What does the metric system mean?

The metric system, or SI system, is the international system of units for measurement. It is based on seven base units (meter for distance, kilogram for mass, second for time, kelvin for temperature, ...), and lots of derived units (meters/second for speed, square meters for surface area, etc.)


What is a system of units used to determine area linear measurement or square measurement?

Square measurement


What are the fundamental and derived units?

In a system of units such as the SI, BASE UNITS are defined; other units are derived from those.For example, in the SI, the meter, the kilogram, and the second are base units; the units for area (meters squared), for speed and velocity (meters/second), etc. are derived from the base units. Which units are base units, and which units are derived units, really depends on how the unit is defined. For example, in the SI, pressure is a derived unit; but you can just as well invent a system in which pressure is a base unit, and some other units, that are base units in the SI, are derived in this new system.

What does square feet mean?

'Square feet' is a plural term for square foot. A square foot is unit of measurement. It used to measure areas. It is a non-SI (System De Interantionale) and a non-metric unit. It is known as United States customary unit or Imperial unit. A square foot is an area covered by a square.You use square feet for units when you calculate area.
