Are / Dm2 Units Definition
Are
Are, unit of area in the metric system, equal to 100 square meters and the equivalent of 0.0247 acre. Its multiple, the hectare (equal to 100 ares), is the primary unit of land measurement for most of the world. The are was the basic unit of area when the metric system was first decreed in France in 1795. When the International System of Units (SI) was adopted in 1960, the square meter replaced the are as the unit of area, but the International Bureau of Weights and Measures accepted the hectare as the common unit that can be used with the SI.
dm2 (Square decimeter)
Therefore, a square decimeter (or "square decimeter" in British spelling) is one tenth of a square meter. It can also be expressed by ten square centimeters. A rough example of a decimeter could be the average surface area of some smartphone screens.
