The square kilometer (km²) measures large territories and geographic areas. Central Park in New York covers 3.41 km², while Paris occupies about 105 km². This unit is essential for urban planning, environmental studies, and country-size comparisons. The hectare (10,000 m²) is the standard unit for measuring agricultural land and large properties. A soccer/football field is about 0.7 hectares, while a small farm might be 5-10 hectares. This unit is crucial for forestry, urban planning, and real estate development.
To convert between Square Kilometer (km²) and Hectare (ha), use the following formulas:
1 Square Kilometer (km²) = 100 Hectare (ha)
1 Hectare (ha) = 0.01 Square Kilometer (km²)
1 km² = 1 * 100 ha = 100 ha
5 km² = 5 * 100 ha = 500 ha
10 km² = 10 * 100 ha = 1000 ha
100 km² = 100 * 100 ha = 10000 ha
| Square Kilometer (km²) | Hectare (ha) |
|---|---|
| 1 km² | 100 ha |
| 5 km² | 500 ha |
| 10 km² | 1000 ha |
| 50 km² | 5000 ha |
| 100 km² | 10000 ha |
